Terapin, have you given any thought to giving up alcohol as a 180? I'll not bring this up again, but it's kind of a pet project of mine to help LBSs. I've been sober for 29 years, so that's a part of my motivation. But the other part is helping LBSs DB better. It's hard enough to DB stone cold sober.
Just a thought. -bro hug-
Thanks. Hmm, well, I guess I haven't thought much of it, although alcohol has been a recurring problem in our marriage. Hell, since we were dating.
Now, I only drink one night a week, tops. Typically Saturday nights. The problem is, I tend to drink too much. I have trouble 'stopping'. Conversely, my W drinks almost every night (glasses of wine), and occasionally will over drink on a weekend night. I'd say alcohol lead to, or was at least a catalyst for 90% of our fights and issues over the past 20 years.
I will think about that though, cause that would be a helluva 180 for me. Congrats on your sobriety. I truly mean that. I have a lot of friends and family that have died or been destroyed by alcohol and drugs.
