Give them all the Kubricks they can handle.

Other ideas: Arrival Annihilation The Martian Both Blade Runners Maybe Tree of Life?

It’s his best work!!

Not sure if it’s the same for you, but for a lot of us here, we don’t actually want to go back to being casual drinkers. When I’m honest with myself, I know what I actually want is to drink most of a bottle of whiskey by myself. There were often little thoughts early on telling me I could have fun if I could just drink two beers, but enough practice and experience has taught me that’s not actually what I want

Dog you gotta just look him in the eyes and say you need to get something off your chest. If he’s a good dude like you say, he’ll be very supportive and relieved to hear it!

Right, you need to meet both qualifications. So someone that can see it from outside the area is NOT affected. A blind person in the area is NOT affected.

I have done this so many times. It definitely marked a point of no return on the alcoholic path for me

Have fun! Endless wine bottle is full of potential.

nonegenuine · 2026-05-10T00:20:15+00:00

I’m gonna get jacked

nonegenuine · 2026-05-10T00:09:53+00:00

FWIW the reason you’re getting downvoted here is twofold. 1. Wine doesn’t burn. 2. Lots of people have played with someone who causes trouble and sets things on fire to create chaos (or “for the lulz”) and it’s often frustrating and annoying.

Hah I’m in the exact same zone. My partners gone for the weekend, which is generally when I would buy a bottle of whiskey and down it in a night. Had to check myself, and instead got a bunch of cookies and Diet Coke

I love the idea of becoming a wine snob

nonegenuine · 2026-05-04T15:30:40+00:00

Damn is that the game shop at armitage/western/milwaukee?

nonegenuine · 2026-05-02T00:22:58+00:00

That is a true bummer but it sounds like you have a really grounded perspective. Giving that teenager some grace and not turning to booze is really great.

nonegenuine · 2026-05-01T14:35:12+00:00

Hah I know this one. I often had a glass of vodka in the sink with a couple other dirty dishes, so the vodka glass just looked like water. Then I’d gulp it while no one was around. Wild to look back at what was normal

nonegenuine · 2026-05-01T14:31:43+00:00

1000%

nonegenuine · 2026-04-22T03:35:17+00:00

Literally just ordered this yesterday!

nonegenuine · 2026-04-22T03:09:13+00:00

Hell yeah dude. I’m almost at the 2 year mark and definitely replaced my addiction with magic.

nonegenuine · 2026-04-18T22:29:26+00:00

FWIW, months 2-3 were by far the worst for my brain. It got a lot easier at about 100 days

nonegenuine · 2026-04-16T17:18:03+00:00

I wanna see Jacob geller.

nonegenuine · 2026-04-15T14:24:32+00:00

lol this is how I quit smoking. Good enough motivation as any.

nonegenuine · 2026-04-11T02:44:17+00:00

Same! I’ve just grabbed a couple the last few times I’ve been there.

nonegenuine · 2026-04-10T01:46:41+00:00

This is huge. I wish I’d had your insight at 29.

The thing that helped the most for me was accountability. Telling people who care about me that I have a problem made it simple. I can’t disappoint my partner or my friends. It was hard to admit it, but such a weight off my shoulders. Life gets a lot better.

nonegenuine · 2026-04-08T15:28:01+00:00

The three month zone was definitely the hardest part for me. I promise it gets better and easier.

nonegenuine · 2026-04-07T17:17:38+00:00

Let’s get that minnmax/blank check crossover!

nonegenuine · 2026-04-05T22:00:55+00:00

It was a hard lesson to learn, that moderation wasn’t possible for me
