30 (+1) Dry Days

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Well done sir. I had a mostly dry january and was similarly glad that i didnt really have too many problems with it. I figured out at that point i just like drinking but its not a necessity. I did it primarily for health reasons. Had some worrying symptoms. Turns out that my liver function is completely normal. Go figure. It was something else which alcohol contributed to but wasnt the primary cause so much as my shitty diet and lack of exercise.

Lies.  You're Irish.  If you don't drink, you wither up like a slug with salt on its back.

Oh please spare the stereotypes.

Next thing you'll be saying is that he eats potatoes as a staple diet and owns a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

HOW DID SOMEBODY JUST NOW WOMP THIS? 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

So, yeah.  Day 26.  It's safe to say I'm neither physically nor psychologically addicted to alcohol.  Which is a bit of a relief to discover, truth be told.

I used to drink a lot, from my mid 20s to my mid 30s.  Turns out, I was addicted to the fun I had with the people I was with, not the booze.  I know this, because we all pretty much stopped drinking at the same time, and we still had loads of fun...With no real feeling of any need to resume drinking.

Also, I think our inhibitions don't need to be artificially lowered anymore.  We don't seem to have any.

That's one of the great(?) things about aging. Our inhibitions gradually recede until we're saying whatever comes into our minds and exposing ourselves in public without a second thought.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

You horrible bastards just can't keep booze out of a dry thread. Have you no decency? Have you no shame?

WHAT IS THAT THING

WINNING

Actually, Luna womped this up a while ago. I believe in conjunction with March, but if earlier, I'll accept the timeline.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Also, I wouldn't say that I'm an Irish stereotype. I would say that I'm an obnoxiously Irish person who enjoys the stereotype.

Except for the potato bit. That's that's along the same lines as "black people like fried chicken." Of course they do. Fried chicken is the shit. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes? Died and went to Tir na n'Og.

Don't recall when I did it, but it was awhile ago.  Just seemed appropriate for the conversation.

LMNO, for the record, I think what you're doing, taking a month off, is a GOOD THING^TM .  Thanks for sharing.

Besides, you're posting from a phone, which makes it pretty much impossible to stereo type.

Actually that one made me chuckle

TIME                     TO                                                                                          RAAAAGE!

And then Boston needed a colostomy bag.

Please note: In this instance, "rage" entailed one (1) dry martini and the gentle reminder that I had a training from 8:30 - 12:00 the next day.

See you spags at lunch.
