Im glad you are too, kind internet stranger 🖤 Doesn’t matter if you’re late to this party because none of us will be too drunk when you get here 😅

That’s also a tough one! I’ve stopped smoking recently (maybe a month ago) and while I didn’t think I was ready (had to for probation) my body must’ve because I didn’t have too many cravings. Definitely lost some weight and leaned heavily on zzzquil

3 DWIs, failing relationships, a realization of mortality and starting to care for my health, my wallet appreciates. Quite the laundry list of issues it caused. Alcoholism runs in my family and while I don’t plan on having kids, I wasn’t willing to let this generational curse put me 6 ft under any sooner that necessary

Sorry 🤷 had to make a gametime decision

😅 my nose was not. Biggest trigger I’ve had for a while

I want to hug all of you so hard. I really can’t express enough gratitude through comments. Thanks for your kindness and support! Keep being wonderful! 🖤

Immediate update: because of the minors commenting, the fact that several were open and because I was leaning towards the advice of u/kamikazektard already

Thanks again for all the kind, supportive words strangers! 🖤 You’re all loved and appreciated

I thought about saying “I’ll take a shot with you to prove their not poisoned/drugged” but obviously that would 110% defeat the purpose of me getting rid of them. I’m dumb sometimes 😅

I don’t have any spare bottles as I still cook with it! Electric stove top so I get no flames when I’m cooking off the alcohol 🥲

I am! I didn’t realize it was nagging me subconsciously until a sober friend of mine mentioned it yesterday

Upvote for the congratulations and thank you very much but I cannot and would not knowingly supply a minor

I do not. Sorry

I agree it will be beneficial. The everlasting alcoholic in me hates to pour them down the drain 😓

Thanks everyone for the congratulations! I really appreciate it. It wasn’t a decision I made consciously when I was slowing down to a stop so I’m not sure of a sobriety date but sometime in November. I don’t remember Halloween but I vividly remember wanting and not having a drink at thanksgiving and Christmas. Gotta love the family! 😅

In response to the minors, cmon dude.

I thought about mentioning that if you weren’t clearly an adult, I’d check IDs. I used to bartend and served for a few years so I’m not too green behind the ears 😅

Yes

Its technically not Springfield but I think golden dragon in ozark always deserves to be thrown in this conversation

I heard from the manager of the business next door that it was going to be some sort of parking but no cited info 🤷
