Man, it's not until you stop drinking that you realize just how thoroughly and completely alcohol permeates our society. It's fucking everywhere. Then when you finally start feeling like socializing again, you discover that about the only places adults seem to congregate outside business hours is either churches or bars.
I know how obnoxious what you're going through is, also know how obnoxious people's well-intentioned efforts to 'help' are so just hit me up if there's anything I can do. Do you use discord?
Almost forgot to mention, there's always Coffee, God, and Cigarettes
Thanks for this kind comment. Dude, you're right, booze is literally entrenched in every part of our society. I can't fucking get away from it. I feel like I'm gonna crack. I think I'm going to join the local AA. I was talking to some of my trail running buddies and they said there aren't any non-religious/non-culty sobriety clubs around here, but the AA group here is apparently actually pretty chill compared to the shit one I went to back when I lived in Leadville. I've got to at least try.
I'm on discord, yeah. Feel free to dm me at b.randt 👍
Mischief Brew fucking rocks. I love that sound so much. I just listened to it on repeat for half an hour. Thanks for sharing.
