    Thankfully(?), I’ve reached a somewhat symbiotic relationship with my functional alcoholism. Drunk me does the laundry and empties the dishwasher, and sober me no longer nags drunk me for drinking so much.

        If it gets to the point I think I need to, I would give it a go.

        This isn’t the most cliche thing I could say (it is the cliche), but I can and do stop when I want to. Every few weeks, I’ll go 2, 3, or 4 weeks without even a drop. Mostly just as a self-check to make sure I can. If I ever can’t (yet to happen), then that’s my notice that I have a real problem rather than one I joke about on the internet.

        I do drink a lot and technically fall under textbook definition, but I don’t hide bottles around the office, drink during the day, or feel like I have to have a drink to get through anything.

        I’ve got a stack of those you can take: cleaning the chicken coop, that’s 2/3 of an ep of Midnight Burger or 2 Gibi ASMRs. Friend discount, just for you.

        Do nothing and stare at walls for hours, gives you a good base of nothingness to serve your podcasts on

          I love music and can just listen to music without doing anything, but then I feel guilty for not doing anything with the rest of the body.

            Have you tried turning your brain into a black hole of emotions so guilt at being idle can never escape? Works for me some times!

    “if life is an endless cycle of dirty dishes and doing laundry, then life is an endless cycle of homecooked meals and clean clothing”

      Absolutely optional. You can get FOUR uses from underwear if you’re smart enough.
