The good: you can rely on me. If I say I’m going to do something or be somewhere, I always see it through.
The bad: I don’t sleep. Not healthy and bad for your brain.
The ugly: the amount of beer I go through in a week has increased exponentially since 2020 and I kinda don’t want to lower it back down.
Before the pandemic and everything I was a social drinker, would go to a bar once a week, hang out with pals and have a few, Uber home and all good. Once I lost being able to go out I lost most of my buddies too. I still have my friends, the close ones, and we all relied on each other to make it through the isolation but none of them live here any longer so being social and going out isn’t something I get to do anymore sadly. That and the crushing knowledge of all the people who died kinda has me not making great choices.
Being reliable is an asset I always look for in friends. I hate when people flake…
Did you sleep better before your issues with alcohol? I worked in a rehab, so I’m a little familiar with disordered drinking. Do you think it’s a physical addiction or a tool for coping with the loss you have had to deal with over the past 3 years?
I wish you grace during your hard times friend. It can get better.
Nah the not sleeping thing is just a norm for me. Always has been since I was a kid.
I don’t think either. I enjoy doing it and it doesn’t cause anything negative in my life (currently), although I know the potential later down the road to my health.
Thanks for your kindness - we need more in the world.

Sorry probably over shared there at the end.
