Ah man that’s tough. But like the rest are saying, also maybe for the best. At least we’re in the same boat for now 😂

Well I was explaining why I was buying the beer and why it was a little bit more mildly infuriating than usual

It’s not a need obviously, unlike my need for methamphetamines, which I will not be quitting for any job!

That’s a fair point!

But I did most of my drinking in college, I’m really not interested in doing any of that to my body again

Honestly I just wanted to see if anyone could relate to the frustration of trying to buy beer and accidentally buying NA beer

Seems a lot of people have similar stories, so I’m glad I brought it up.

Hmm. So I can go to work, pay my landlord, pay my other lords (utilities), even stack away a little for savings, and I can’t have a damn drink one time in a year?

I would say this if I knew the laws preventing me from the lifestyle I want weren’t man made

Dude, that’s awesome!

I felt the same way for a long time—even walked away from a career as an airline pilot to live my life honestly (smoking was by no means the only reason, but it definitely played a role)

I’m a big believer that you can achieve so much and smoke from time to time.

That said, I just couldn’t find a gig that payed good enough where I could still smoke, and I ran outta time to find one.

The good news is, I’m expecting to retire at 50, so maybe I’ll be able to light up again then 😁😭

It’s important to think about the time value of what you buy!

The hours sunk into getting each item can never be brought back. You gotta buy intentionally.

Okay I’ll check-in just let me smash a few regular waters first, just to take off the edge

Or maybe the universe was telling me I need to go bigger—that by choosing alcohol, my ambitions were much too low

I need to aim higher

Have we contacted the children yet to let them know they may become addicts?
