After 15 minutes I switch tasks and come back to it at a later date. Do the dishes or something
Don’t wait, fuck
No joking around when it came to naming it.
For me, it was binging all of House and Stargate
Having no money and deciding that shouldn’t stand between me and media I wouldn’t pay for anyway. Also my local college’s DC++ network, where someone had about 20 TB back in 2006 (which was a bit of a culture shock after having been banned from watching most TV during childhood).
Important for learning
We used to microwave bars of soap. They got bigger and harder to use as soap. Idk, kids do things
Why haven’t my Disney characters not all exploded from how much they don’t go to the bathroom?
All residential bathrooms are woke
Part of me likes poring over lists of slightly different things with complex interactions, but for the most part I think such rules are a relic back when the design philosophy seemed to be “use these dice” and “the players might do it, there should be a rule and probably a roll”.
Also SR5 having drug effects separate to the drug prices, among many other things. I really want to see a more nerdy SR vidya but that probably won’t happen
I remember I downloaded the FFG Rogue Trader in 2008, and it was just Twilight with the troll face watermarked on each page. That was a long road trip.
I generate a low amount, but seem to move in with people who generate loads. Atm I’m in a 5 person sharehouse where only some stuff is shared
But also yes
I remember tying a goon bag to a Hills hoist and spinning it around
Depends on access to resources. Obviously, not everyone can afford a rehab clinic.
It also depends on your relationship with drinking. For me:
Each different relationship to alcohol you have requires addressing or reframing in different ways. Filling your time with “more productive” hobbies won’t help tamp down your social anxiety at parties except in a very tangential way. There are a bunch of commonalities though:
Things that make it more difficult:
I hope this helps. Obviously, there are also local services and therapy as well.
(just relating my experience of gentle quitting, not saying there’s one right way… That said, drinking does do damage to your body, and the directions you can go with quitting are varied, so exposing people to more examples…)
My day-to-day drinking massively reduced with Naltrexone, but now I find myself intensely bored a lot of the time, with occasional bouts of extreme stress when “something happens” ™.
I have some signs of liver damage and gout! Sometimes I go on a bender if I can’t poop and don’t have anything else going on.
Given how severe I was, I’m surprised I didn’t have any physical withdrawal symptoms but I reduced drinking pretty slowly. No rehab center. Group felt weird af to me.
My alcohol tolerance has also severely gone down.
I still drink, sometimes a beer or two at lunch, sometimes a bender because I feel backed up or stressed (obvs still a problem), but I’m nowhere near the 15 litres of goon a week (goon being cheap wine, the cheapest form of alcohol in Australia, it comes in a bag).
I’ve massively reduced my intake, though I’m not dry. Bit of a way to go though
Me, an alcoholic, instantly understands and nods sagely
Idk if this helps. I just feel kinda itchy now
