@Typo-MAGAshiv LOL at watch fake news. My speculations about the reasons why when asked aside... Am I wrong about a conspicuously steep drop in Musk's public profile since a week or so ago?
I've sacrificed two years of growth to drink these painful thoughts away.
My experiences with getting sober seem to balance this out. I always feel like I have leaped and bounded in growth once I start to process whatever it was I was hiding from myself.
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
I'm over six months into the round of sobriety and that's where my mind set has gone the past few months.
At first I said the same thing, I'll just have a few on special occasions. Now I don't see the point. Alcohol is a literal poison that serves as a social lubrication.
I've never leaned on it for that purpose. I still enjoy occasionally sitting down at the bar and shooting the shit with regulars. I'll still almost always opted for a bar with food over a restaurant while traveling to talk to locals. I just can't justify rationally ever getting drunk again.
@Vermillion-Rx talking about "Star Wars", especially anything other than the original trilogy
[Also serious]
@derdeutscher I finished "The Wisdom of Psychopaths" a few months ago. An interesting read that psychopaths lack empathy as we classically think of it, but regard understanding "what makes people tick" as essential to personal success such as selling something or avoiding being used (and, of course, in their case, to exploit other people.)
The pop-culture autistic Sheldon is a great example of an intelligent person who lacks empathy while, at the same time, being exceptionally emotionally vulnerable.
Where I'm going with this is that, I think, RP men are perhaps the most astutely empathic, emotionally educated men in history. Previously, men simply had a system of code and etiquette to live by that largely worked with each other and women. Now that's collapsed in many ways so survival requires a high degree of personal growth, introspection, and understanding of women.
Read MoreI'm aware. If having a limited amount in select situations doesn't work out for me I'll just stop drinking it
but the positive changes I've had since getting off it
T=2 weeks.
Trust us, wait till you see how you feel about this when you reach the 2 YEAR mark.
