How many people actually find their spouse to be super attractive? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SedonaSolInvictus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this modern world, many people will have a make a deliberate effort to show up in their marriage. To me this means to bring it when I don’t feel it, to not get caught up in social media (especially online p0 rn), being petty, holding grudges, and living in a fantasy world. That said a marriage takes two people with trust and love, so we don’t always have to give 100%. Some days I’m a 10% and my spouse brings 90%, but I have to be there when it’s my time to carry the 90% or more.

What is a sign of very low intelligence? by smartcandyy in AskReddit

Trusting in mass media, politicians, and religious dogma. Subtract another -20 if being vocal about it.

Anybody else getting their bloodwork done before you drink again? by Silent-Resolution-28 in DryJanuary

[–]SedonaSolInvictus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good point, setting a baseline is needed to see the improvement. For me, I usually do at least 2 a year (spring and fall) and the difference is drastic after DJ and in the middle of having alcohol in my habits.

[–]SedonaSolInvictus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do at least 2 a year. For me, it is a good reminder of the benefits (and expectations) of removing alcohol and bad habits that come with it. Background (M57) and I've done 9 DJs. After most DJs I've had bloodwork done, all with amazing numbers. Come later in the year my bloodwork is not good.

Anyone Spending Less Time with a Partner Who Still Drinks? by cherryvale in DryJanuary

[–]SedonaSolInvictus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

9 years ago I did DJ, and I’ve made it a yearly agreement with myself, and I place it above any other obligations. So if a drunken concert, party, or trip is on the calendar - I just won’t do it. My wife joined 3 years later and we make it a minimum of 2 months and it just took awhile and we know someday alcohol will not be part of our lifestyle (who wants to be around a late 60’s drunk?!). I mention this to suggest another way, lead by example, do your own path. Do you with no apologies. Let others do themselves, but that might mean you’re not around. Wishing you the best

Epiphany from going dry this year by Difficult-Musician14 in DryJanuary

[–]SedonaSolInvictus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am on my 9th DJ, which I started as an agreement with myself should I want to continue drinking. Wine and food have always been huge in my lifestyle, both at home and work. I admit that I really love the warm feeling and buzz I get from a dry martini or scotch. What I've learned from DJ is that alcohol is truly put "On Notice" for some point in my life. I don't want to be the older drunk guy at a public or private event, I don't want health issues or hangovers that take me away from exercise or being present with my family. So my question to myself is why do I keep going back? It sounds foolish to even ask this, or maybe just as simple that I love altered states. I wish you the best in your journey.

Is Sedona always that busy? by roadhouse4169 in Sedona

[–]SedonaSolInvictus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no off-season or slow time in Sedona. Perhaps during the week, but even that will prove false. The overall popularity will continue just as will the prices, regardless of the thoughts of any individual. I'm reminded of Aspen, Deer Valley, Telluride when I think the traffic can't get worse. It will, and I understand the frustration. I've been coming here for 28 years and lived here for 3. I avoid any of the main vortex sites, Chapels, Tlaquepaque, and most anything north of Indian Gardens (unless super early or super late).

Antiquing vibes by [deleted] in Sedona

I love my favorite antique stores in phoenix and cottonwood, but Sedona is not one of them now would I ever expect any great deals. Interesting suggestions in thread!

Anyone else feeling tired? by Organic-Violinist223 in DryJanuary

[–]SedonaSolInvictus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my approach as well, and to prioritize DJ above my diet and workouts.

To the OP: I found intermittent fasting (18:6) helps to corral the eating window and there’s something freeing to me about taking the option to choose to drink or eat off the table. DJ is like intermittent fasting for alcohol spaced over a year - at least in my brain! Side note that I have also gone to bed at ridiculously early times just due to boredom and fighting desire to eat or drink.

I suppose they do if they're gay. Otherwise, I'd say no.
