Just had a nice 4am convo with my neighbor while eating a sandwich. We went out to the backyard almost at the same time for the same reason. I had no idea that he is a fan. But as it turned out mostly because his wife doesn’t likes his sandwich eating habits, so he used to hide on the toilet.

- Why do you have to eat a sandwich outside at 4am? This makes no sense.monospaced
- yeah i'm bumstedy :)
why is it so hard to get this reference, i'm using it since _high_-schoolsted - What was the reason you both went outside? I don’t want to assume it was to eat secret sandwiches.monospaced
- I don't like when the entire house smells like sandwich, and he told me about it with an oblivious joke about the relation between the toilet and married lifested
- *told me about his reasonsted
- Breakfast for championsSimonFFM
- Yep sandwich smells out the house? What are you talking about? How does tow slices of bread, butter and cheese smell out a house?shapesalad
- wtf is this?********
- making a pb n j. 2 am.kaiyohtee
- @shape I agree, but also two slices of bread, butter and cheese is not a sandwich. I'm curious as to sted's sandwich of choice.garbage

Back in February my wife and I reached out to a realtor about selling our house around the end of Summer. Within an hour, we agreed to list in early May and moved out at the end of April. A 2-day road trip with 3 dogs, 1 cat, and about 15 cacti and houseplants followed. After that, 1 month in an Airbnb in the mountains, plus 3 months in a scabby rental in Portland with no lease agreement. We ended up buying a house but the owners requested 60 days of rent back. It's been painful.
This all ends next Thursday when we get the keys and finally start a new chapter in our lives. Time has slowed to a crawl the past couple of months, and life/work stress has been a fucking nightmare. This can't come soon enough.

I'm trying to be sober, as lockdown has made me more aware of just how destructive my drink and drug use has been. So far my record since April has been 3 weeks, but this weekend I had the worst slip up getting so wasted I couldn't meet the woman I'm seeing at the moment and I today I've got cold sweats. Usually it's just a beer or maybe a joint, but when it comes to class-A's that's where things get bad.
Just saying as I feel opening up about this to people (who don't really know me!!) makes a difference. I'm trying to own this shit and trying to understand what's so good about it? How do i feel drunk or high? Where does it take me?
- Take up Parkour and work your way up to jumping between buildings 15 floors upshapesalad
- https://www.youtube.…shapesalad
- The mental discipline to perform that... amazing, once you can do that, you can mentally do anything.shapesalad
- Are you a character from Viz, Shapesalad?Nairn
- I can see how being sober is important in parkourdrgs
- Maybe you have a point Shape, the mental discipline of pursuing something I love would be decent. I might just start running thoughIanbolton
- Look into Ibogaine treatment. It works.********
- My point is, those Storror guys spent 12 years training to be able to do those jumps across buildings. When you see the full movie, you see them still facingshapesalad
- the mental challenge of doing the jump at height, even though they physically know they can do it. They focus, run through it, practice, then calmly execute it.shapesalad
- So Ian here.... he's doing great. Just started the training in being sober, just like parkour, it's a mental game that you can train and excel at.shapesalad
- When you view it like that, it's less of a challenge. When you view it as a black and white, sober or drunk only problem, then it seems super hard to keep sobershapesalad
- blah blah blah********
- Fuck those storror guys, what a bunch of awful twats********
- Guy comes on to talk about trying to get off booze, gets an argument about parkour.PhanLo
- QBN never dissapoints.palimpsest
- lol, this thread. The sweats could be helped with a vitamin B complex. Good luck, and maybe not start jumping off buildings.garbage
- Or become a great icon of parkour and we'll pool our collective talents to hoist you up in a documentary about QBN's greatest comeback kid.garbage
- Do your best @Ianbolton; I'm right there with you struggling with addiction, BUT hanging in their day to day...
...Pandemic has not been easy in any way.ideaist - @Ianbolton: congrats, admitting to yourself there is a problem, is the most important first step on the right track. I dont know about parkour...rzu-rzu
- "One day at a time" is a cliche for a reason. Go to meetings, see if that works for you. Your local NHS will probably have some talking therapy available.comicsans
- ...seems to me like a poor replacement, adrenaline instead of alcohol. I'd recommend reading books, those you always wanted to read but lacked patience or focusrzu-rzu
- AA is helpful for many. But don’t fall for their “this is the only way” message. There are different methods to battle addiction for different people.********
- Maybe try quitting 100% for a year. It’s easier to get through a year because you can tell everyone “I’m doing a year of no drinking” & avoid some stigma.********
- I know a few people who did a year & then never went back to drinking at all. Another friend cured his alcoholism this way & and can now drink occasionally.********
- From my experience with this, you have to just wait it out. The sweats at night eventually fade away and your dreams stop tormenting you.monospaced
- I remember the idea of being sober all day was a bit scary. But we are made to be like that and I had to remind myselfmonospaced
- I reframed alcohol as poison, what it actually is. I did the same with food: fuel food and entertainment food. And it feels great.stewart
- At the end of the day, it all boils down to mind over matter.********
- I gave up cigarettes after 10 yrs. What it took for me was simplifying it. I wouldn’t allow myself to have “just one” and everything followed from there.monNom
- Maybe that works with alcohol too. “Just one drink” is you subconscious manipulating you into a binge. If you don’t give in, you won’t wind up there.monNom
- ^I agree, cold turkey is best. I did the same thing with smoking. You first must truly accept the fact that you will never have it again.********
- To truly accept in your mind, without heistancy, that you will go to your grave without ever feeling drunk or high again. If you can do that, you're on your way********
- Alcohol is a coping strategy. Artifically feel good to avoid feeling bad. It's easier to not drink if you remember it's inhibiting u from feeling okay naturallysrhadden
- after drinking regularly you will feel extra shitty for a month or so if you stop. The hardest part is overcoming this month, after that you should feel finesrhadden
- And then the natural good feeling will be something you don't easily throw away again by drinking againsrhadden
- And keep in mind that there's no such thing as "just one drink"srhadden
- Good luck, Ian. There's a few of us in the same boat... . When my time comes, I'll just quit day by day until I feel I'm done. 'Quit forever' is not for me :\Nairn
- I echo @rzu-rzu's comments aboveKrassy
- Do what works for you. Weed helped me quit booze, which goes against the addict narrative.DRIFTMONKEY
- Talking about it is a small but a good start. Try to talk to real people you think will understand and support you.Longcopylover
- im the opposite... i can't drink by my self. so i almost didnt drink at all during lockdown.pango
- Cheers folks. I know why I do it. It’s because I like being high or getting drunk. It’s great! But I’ve taken it to the extreme now, to point of it consuming meIanbolton
- Doing it alone is the part I hateIanbolton
- Wish you well Ian. Meditation is good. Movement is good. Running sounds like a great idea. Connecting with family and friends more is good.mort_
- yep monNom - been nicotine free since Nov of 2019 had pneumonia and couldn't sleep due to sound of own wheezing - never again will I have 1 except in dreams...whatthefunk
- been years since I had a drink either, just stopped one day. Have fully embraced thc with no apologies, only puff at night...whatthefunk
- I don't think drugs are inherently bad it's more a matter of not letting them ruin your life. A bit of weed, some nootropic drugs are more my level these days.yuekit
- And also exercise as people said -- really intense exercise like walking 15 km gives me a buzz similar to getting high. I know I have an addictive personalityyuekit
- so it's a matter of channeling it into things that are harmless or even beneficial. Quit both smoking and drinking almost completely and don't miss it.yuekit
- yes, exercise, if you can - cycle. And obviously you may experience doubt, like "is it really worth it? I will drink some day eventually" yes it's worth it...rzu-rzu
- ..and if you are feeling down and really crave a glass of something unhealthy, have a coca cola or some energy drinkrzu-rzu
- I like your confessions on instagram Ian. But pls don't start drinking just to get sympathy there.You slipped and saw the big picture immediately. That's a win.Beeswax
- Yes wtf, start walking or running what you actually need is get off people around you, specially the ones who drink, you can also try a sport, badminton is wond********
- erful.********
- I play football every Tuesday, cycle and just signed up to do a dragonboat race with work.Ianbolton
- Confessions on Instagram? @Beeswax Only social media i use is Twitter.Ianbolton
- Good luck Ian. One day at a time for me worked. I stopped for 6 months which helped me kick smoking. Now if I have a drink I am its master.de4k
- Perhaps try a trip to Peru to try some ayahuasca. Apparently it helps with this kind of thing. I’m sure there will be shamans in London too. Good luck.Chimp
- For me, there is no cutting down. Your body knows what you like and usage will creep up again. Quit and stay quit.comicsans
- Oh hah. I thought you were this person fir some reason. https://www.instagra…Beeswax

A side story related to the late, great Charlie Watts, a friend who's wife works as a nurse at Milton Keynes general hospital was Charlie's mothers prime carer during her end of life care and Charlie often visited his mum of course until she sadly died there. The wife happened to mention to Charlie during one of these visits that her husband was a huge Stones fan and Charlie kindly gave her some passes to a forthcoming show at Wembley Stadium, which was very kind of him and so naturally my mate went along to the show. However, as these were also backstage passes he was welcomed to hang around and was invited into the bands rec area where he played pool with the band and generally hung out for a while. It didn't end there, as he was so chill about the experience, didn't take pics or ask for autographs etc, they invited him to another show, and then another show!
This all happened several years ago and he still gets invited to Stones shows when they are playing in the UK as they just like him as a nice guy (which he is!) It all started from his wife looking after Charlies mum and is just a small measure of the man's kindness and generosity.

Wife working for new company x for the last (nearly) year on her own machine, etc. etc. etc.
Company X offers a new machine, BUT now IT guy X is red flagging public beta of OS, certain apps we use across the board for various purposes, etc.
It feels like being in catholic school all over again, except professionally now.
Rest in peace the concept of seamlessness between personal & professional.

Just found out I can check my medical history of my entire life online now.
Apparently I have not had any prescribed medication since 2003...- I can't recall getting a prescription since first year in Uni, which is nearly 25 fucking years ago. Jesus.Nairn
- How?scarabin
- The online thing or never needed prescription?pango
- The online thingscarabin
- not sure if it has always been there but since my province is doing vaccine passport (or proof of vaccine if anyone who doesn't like the word passport)pango
- they decided the best place to access the record is to via our Personal Health Number (PHN) on the mobile app.pango
- you can also access your medical record online but you still need the app for verification.pango
- OK, so now - how did you stay without the need for prescriptions for so long? What's your secret?Nairn
- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i dunno... i'm a strong healthy boy. Never needed to go see doctors. except that one time i didn't sleep for 28hrs and fell on the metal stairspango
- and got a gash across my forehead. now at that time we were going to see superbad in the theatre and i didn't want to waste the ticket i bought.pango
- i used a stack of tissue paper to stop the blood from dripping down my face. Went to the ER right after the movie.pango
- i have the mentality to just power through everything. probably gonna die young cuz of that. lolpango
- I'm not sure a prescription would have aided you in the face of such beautifully self-abusing actions, but heck if that shit isn't going to make you strongerNairn
- "What doesn't kill you.." as I say to pretty much everyone in these post-child daysNairn
- have I learned anything from that experience? nope.
wait that's not true. you can refund the ticket within the first 10 mins after the starting time.pango
