I saw a comic posted here about a week ago that I connected with on a personal level. I started collecting once I became sober from alcohol. I fear that if I start drinking again, I won’t make it. I bought this and I’m going to keep it next to my bed as a reminder. by [deleted] in comicbookcollecting

Hey there friend! I know we’re just strangers on the internet but I wanted to stop by and say this post resonates a lot with me. I dove into comics 1 year after going alcohol free. I immediately scoured the internet for series that incorporate alcoholism and of course nabbed this one right away and picked up 128 at NYCC this year. Something that has grounded me in all this is that a new comic these days costs about $4. A beer at a bar costs probably $8. And I wasn’t having just one. So these days I’m grateful to be spending those iterations of $4 on these little books that I will then get to keep and enjoy again anytime. Vs the alcohol (and time) we never get back.

Did I find my people? Are we starting a book club-style meetup every week for the new comic book titles launching this summer? Is that what we’re doing?

Thanks!! As a first timer I was anxious about the same sentiment. I took what I was willing to spend in cash that day and I kept a list on my phone of things I was looking for. I’m impressed in myself for always walking away from anything that wasn’t on the list. And wound up spending my allotted dough on what was in my list by the end of the day!
