A shoutout to those in recovery or who are thinking of going #sober.

It’s a tough time of year not to want to drink — between office parties, traditions, and holiday depression.

I don’t have specific advice. Just keep on keepin’ on. The drinking only ever makes things worse.

When you're reading a review of a musician who overcame alcohol addiction and there's an ad for whiskey on top of it.

There should be a way to opt out of alcohol ads.

Barrels of whiskey
Sinking, I drank for ballast
And drowned just the same

Did you ever stop and think
Drink rots godly minds

It’s exhausting and hard for me to talk with drunks now — particularly when I love them. Probably because I remember how it is on that side.

So, still, I listen. As others did for me. Because if they don’t talk, they’ll drink more, feel forgotten. They won’t get more sober if I hang up.

But now I’m a very tired rabbit.

I’m a year and a half #sober today — and it’s a day I had one of my hardest moments. Like, there was alcohol within reach (damn parklet). I started feeling really angry at those folks who could enjoy a cold beer outside.

But I’m back home with a non-alcoholic Black Butte Porter and the person I promised my sobriety to.

So, you know, we get by. We live to not drink another day.

Whenever I wake up with a bad sinus headache, I marvel that I used to choose the morning headache lifestyle through drinking.

Fun fact: Being sober doesn’t make you any less funny, but it can stop you from taking the joke too far.

What price is your fire,
Liquor store Prometheus?
Old Crow plucks my guts
