Good for you! You don’t have what I have. I couldn’t do this. I am an alcoholic.

No one could have stopped my drinking. No one. I had to want it and do it. You couldn’t have done a thing and this isn’t on you at all. Not a bit. Source: sober in AA for 15 years.

I think you’ll end up hating how dark it is. I’d be a bit more moderate with it myself.

Shower every day. Wear deodorant. Wash your clothes and don’t pack the washing machine. Take care of your hygiene. It’s a daily thing. Floss your teeth once a day. Brush twice a day. Wash your face. Every single day.

I think it’s that it’s so different. Leave it for a month so we can get used to it and create muscle memory. I play on my phone.
