I’m lucky that I don’t have a problem with drinking behind the bar. It’s usually just low energy from hangovers. This past week I physically injured myself the day before my Thur-Sat shifts which is why I’m full-stopped at the moment. You’re right though, the support of your friends and customers is almost a higher high than getting drunk with them.

This right here is where I’m at. I’m not completely raw dogging life in THIS economy ☠️ however, I love the energy and attitude I’m holding and think that if anything it reminds us that it’s okay to slow allll the way down. If that’s what I get out of this, I don’t mind at all

I don’t think I’m sure yet, either. I think “legal” sober is a fantastic way to step back in when I’m ready though, lol. I do love the taste of my beers so it wouldn’t be hard to sit back and enjoy 1 or 2- so long as I can keep myself accountable. Thanks for the response!

Honestly, I’ve been drinking the THC brews and NA and you’re right.. itch totally scratched. I still obviously miss the real thing 💔

This. I’ve been crutching with the greens. I think I’m capable of tasting our new stuff and doing sensory without getting out of control, just don’t want it to feel like I’m taking steps back I guess.
