@Vermillion-Rx to stop problem drinking, you first need to get a good sober streak under your belt, that includes going through some "celebrations, dates and birthdays" without drinking otherwise you'll just circlejerk yourself
I remember that one.
TradTHOT is a good one. When i wrote the piece on "NeoTrad" women, I was not familiar with the lexicon.
Or I forgot.
Don't remember....
Damn, when's bingo again and where is my lime jello?
If same girl this hits hard
Stop masturbating to their makeup, bois
@Typo-MAGAshiv I was somewhat joking in my answer here. I dont really think Im some thunder alpha. Just joking with the guy because he is obviously frustrated.
I fucked up somewhat with my complaints about underwear yes. On the bright side, last two days she is sending me pictures of her sexy underwear telling me to choose which one I want.
@Vermillion-Rx Even if what Lone Ranger says doesn't map 100% to your feelings and intentions, I think he's spot on.
I've never been addicted to alcohol, but I've known many and heard from/read lots more. There's a VERY small chance that you can keep alcohol in your life socially/occasionally/nonproblematically.
Think of booze like a hot but totally crazy BPD chick. She can mold her way to appearing to fit you and your life like a glove. Sure the sex was outstanding at times, for she could suck a baseball up a garden hose. But in the same week, she can just as easily cut up all your clothes, write schizoform graffiti from ceiling to floor in your living room, alienate your friends, wreck your car, and boil your bunny.
Treat alcohol like it is dead to you. You will likely be 4 months to 2 years out, before you can look back and realize that alcohol can't have a rational place in your life, from now on, seriously meaning forever. Don't be afraid or ashamed to reach out for support from others who are further down this path to help get you over that hump.

To quote Rian Stone, a better way to put it is:
marriage is a bad deal for men

To quote @Vermilion-Rx
Going to go 2 months at least though before keeping it to celebrations, dates, and birthdays.
Shit even I told myself six months which I just hit and it took me almost two year of talking about it and multiple attempts to hit that goal.
At this point I think I could handle a beer or two but I don't see the fucking point. Life is going good.
Like you're, I still go out to the clubs, pubs and dives with half a dozen old friends and even that's getting old.
The further I detach from that lifestyle, the less of an appeal it has on me.
most addicts are powerless in the face of their addiction.
I am until I'm not.
You're right. It's similar to TRP in the sense you can read about it, you can talk about getting sober, you can go to meetings and will even have bouts of sobriety until your life of addiction is greater pain than whatever it is you're masking.
Much like TRP as well, you can come through it on the other side, head held high for years and fall right back into your old ways.
Been there done that. Could end up strung out again but as long as I keep moving forward, avoid a certain crowd and continue creating positive stressers in my life, I have my doubts.
