it looks like that very short lived vegan meat trend. its a mistake to think of replacing like with like. if youre not eating meat dont eat something meat like, eat beans and vegetables. if you're not drinking, go for a walk. don't go to the pub. stay at home alone and stare at the wall.

im a very successful abstainer i know how to not do things. take it from me. the vegan meat market failed and so will this. if you want to get shift your consciousness while sober take acid or mushrooms or a little bit of DMT to perk yourself up.

sage advice it's def short-term gains. there was an alo=cohol free pub in mcr but it closed down


after 3 months of sobriety last time, i took up running. thought fuck that after a bit and went to the white hotel 3 times a week to dance.

I will still go to the pub, I'm going tonight, cos otherwise how do you socialise. But it's tiresome if they have 3 pints and start repeating themselves and you can only have so many cokes. That is the no alcohol market.

only time I win at darts but you can also encounter the 48hr session head who transcends spacetime and beats you with a 9er

same with pool, you can find solace at any pub pool table as a non-drinker because a 4-5 pinter will take on silly shots, or worse, play safety and you just have to tidy up

playing positional safety shots at a pub pool table is worthy of immediate death though, call in Mullet Bombman

Some people might question whether that still counts as "sober."

Tucking into a well-earned post-workout pint of Titanic plum porter as we speak. It's fucking delicious.

How do you feel about that 5 years now? Does that person feel alien to you? Do you miss him? Do you have a horror of him?

I think I miss him a bit tbh.

2017 in particular, that summer after I quit, was really magical. It was like I could hear music again.

And it carried on well into 2018.

Also the pandemic was good, but the second half was when I cracked.

A few of my good friends told me I was a better person to hang about with when I wasn't drunk.

The wife also appreciated it.

I've not gone back as ridiculous as I was, but I have had a few wonky moments since going back on.

And I do love drinking, getting stoned, taking drugs, but it's just quite difficult to manage now.

The trouble I have is that it's all or nothing, I can't just have a couple of a Friday night and then go to bed. I like to have 7 and then do the same Saturday, same in midweek as well. Once other people get added into the equation, it's a lot.

My 17 and 18 were sober too and I was more magic than I've ever been before or since
