Tundras live: Dad jokes not allowed and IPA drinkers shunned and hair metal kicks ass

Good plan. Get ahead of it before it becomes a real problem.

I've done a lot of dry January stints and usually only lasted a week or two, until 3 years ago. Give it hell and kick it's ass!

 

Noice. I love smoking turkeys for Thanksgiving. I’ve got two in the fridge as well. Birds are small this year!

 

Grid power is gone. Internet cable came back, have part of house running on solar power backup battery now. Have hot water, heat and power for internet, fridge. I hope it comes back by tomorrow afternoon. Trees cracking in forest …

 

Not good..
We've got heavy snow and wind here

 

Yikes. Hope your resources outlast the blast. Sounds like your set as long as a tree doesn't fall on your house.

 

Always!!!

 

Diet A&W is very good.

 

WTF

 

We have an atmospheric river hitting us here in Northern California. Nonstop rain for the next 3-4 days with likely minor flooding in some areas. I'm sure it turns into snow when it moves inland and hits the Sierra's.

 

Reported

 

Not a fan of these kind of mornings.

 

The funny thing is I’ve been drinking a lot less over the past 6 months or so, it’s like you guys are influencers or something.

Hell, I’m almost afraid of beer now. But strangely I have cravings for energy drinks.

 

You got this! I did what I called sober lite for a while. Then with my wife being pregnant, we both quit drinking for the duration. Now we are drinking again and I am about to move back to sober lite, most likely transitioning from there to just being sober untitled.

It isnt about money or health or any of that, I just dont like how much I drink when I drink. So sober lite is basically, dont drink at all unless we are out with a friend group drinking. then have a couple. no buying for the house or events or any of that.

sober untitled is damn near the same, its just where I tell the friend groups I am on a diet so i can be left alone about not drinking socially. But, if I decide to have one or two, no one bats an eye.

I dont miss it anymore. and when I do drink it usually wonder why the next day. It was a heck of a transition years ago. And I am looking forward to it again shortly.

 

One thing I do not miss... energy drinks... Occasionally I will miss my Celsuis, but those drinks were the easiest to cut...

Now that I cannot have caffeine, I miss coffee

 

My favorite. I'm old enough to know better, but I'm not gonna lie, it tastes really good and I like it when it's really cold

 

Yeah, I drank a lot of their coffee and supported them early. I loved those when they released. But also, their RTD are the worst in the health category. I do not miss cans at all...

I go to liquid death if I ever feel some type of away about buying something while in a gas station.

 

I cut coffee out earlier this year. I like it a lot, but it tears my guts up. I'll still have a piece of chocolate now and again, which has caffeine. Really I only drink water and whiskey, and occasionally a little milk. I wouldn't knock anyone for what they consume, but optimally calories and energy should be ingested in the form of solid food.

 

Joe Rogan just interviewed Evan Hafer (BRCC founder) this week. I've been listening to it while I get steps in for the past couple of mornings. He's an interesting dude.

 

Yeah he really is. Evan is why I started to buy into their org and company. I dont like the direction some of it has gone and the DB podcast has lost my interest years ago. Crazy as I was an early listener of it. But hey, get your money and do what you want.

I still respect Evan as a whole though. And Rogan is close to them, especially through John Dudley.

Fascinating circle of people.

 

oh nice! 6 more posts until I hit 1k....

 

After some revelations I made last night I decided to forgo waiting for Jan to attend dry January festivities. I'm staring today (well technically Sunday 11/16). Not a drop since last Sat night. The holiday should be a good test next week at the in-laws in FL.

 

You’re one of us now

No need to be scared of beer though

 

Good for you my dude! Please, hit me up if you even need to talk about shit.

I'm approaching 15 years sober, this December.

I started drinking when I was 13 and an alcoholic by 18. I quit shortly before I turned 28. By the time I quit, I was consuming a liter of Seagrams VO and 18 pack of bud light, everyday after work. Evenings also included burning through 1-1.5 packs half of Camel Turkish Golds. That was just Monday - Thursday... because I was a responsible drunk. Fri, Sat, Sunday, it was game on. There was a dash of hard drugs here and there, but my favorite poison was alcohol.

When I quit, I had to learn how to be human. I didn't know how to handle emotions or feelings or just day to day events. Everything I did revolved around drinking.

Had a good day? Celebrate with a drink or 12.
Bad day? A drink or 12 solves that, too.
Stubbed toe? I'll drink to that.
Bored? Nah, there's a beverage somewhere.
Christmas Eve? Well hell, let's get ripped and go to midnight mass with your bros.

I've buried several friends over the years. Others are so lost that they don't know they had died years ago. I don't know why I was spared, so I try to live as though I'm here with a purpose.
