    I spent January dry just to reset and find my normal. It was really nice. I’m back to binge drinking occasionally. I used to really enjoy it but lately it’s just making me sad.

    I may have to change my name to Texas Mildly Inebriated.

      Oh man the depression hits so much harder for me after I’ve gone dry for a while.

      Depending on your poison, the NA beers are getting pretty decent. Or just soda water, honestly fits the bill for me.

        I get that. I’m actually a bourbon guy. I prefer things with names like Old Tennishoe or The Devil’s Scrotum. I can absolutely stop at one or two (I do that pretty regularly) and I can do without. I just really enjoy being hammered. And I enjoy the burn of terrible bourbon. I just don’t enjoy this deep sadness lately while I do it.

        I won’t deny that I’m a problem drinker.
