Shit, wasn’t expecting my vitiating skills to be put to the test!
…and I’m not sure if there’s an official “right” answer - if APA or something were the law of the land…I probably wouldn’t be here, so I think this is proper enough for me.
I actually kind of wanted to say something about that in the post, that the citation doesn’t have to directly follow the image - it just needs to be clear what the link or credit is referring to…that’s my take, but whether or not the greater Hive collective would agree…I have no idea…how’d I do!?
Decent, but imperfect. I made it that whole first week on virgin drinks, and honestly I loved it. Then on Saturday we went to have burgers and beers with friends.
I told my wife I was thinking I’d just drink water and she was all “two beers won’t kill you!” So I said ok and we had one before we left (we typically deal in IPAs of 7-8%)
…I shouldn’t have had that one before leaving, because when I got there it was like the count started over, and the problem with that is, after three drinks I pretty much go ham. I am always pretty good about stopping after two…if I stop after two…God man, what a dumb fuckin’ equation that is.
Anyway yeah I wound up having like six of those things, pretty much ruined Sunday for me. Been doing decent since then, stuck to just one lighter drink on Monday and steered completely clear yesterday.
It feels a bit like climbing up a crumbling wall, to avoid the cliched (albeit very accurate) slippery slope.
I’ve also cut out weed afterall, even if only temporarily, and still seeing a day-to-day struggle as it pertains to porn…lotta monkeys on my back man, but doing what I can to shake ‘em off.
Although it hasn’t been perfect, I’m reminding myself to stay positive and be proud of my progress.
I appreciate your asking…no one else knows I’m fighting this fight. I never even told my wife I was having virgin drinks because I was afraid she’d say something like “two drinks won’t kill you” lol

Any better would be against the law.
LOL - well then, this is an excellent addition to the reference!
How's it goin over there with the hand off the handle and all that bedazzle?

Of course. Remember carburetors and how they'd hesitate and sputter out and fire and misfire until you cleaned the jets?
I thought I heard that reading that, probably just me..
Damn, no that sounds exactly right - and encouraging honestly. None of that crap for me tonight, I’m in the clear today!
