Well apparently it's possibly by a sailor who lived long ago.

6 weeks off the booze today, stopped for 2 reasons, baby is due soon and 10 years of fairly heavy drinking took its toll on my mental health. Anxiety was terrible and though I can't admit I'm cured, I'm 100% sure stopping has had a positive impact. First couple of weeks I really missed chilling out with a few beers in the evening though it's got easier and easier with time.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
Congratulations. That can be tough. It took me a long time to stabilize into just an occasional drinker, and I know for some that’s just not feasible.BitterTom wrote: ↑10 Mar 2021, 10:07am6 weeks off the booze today, stopped for 2 reasons, baby is due soon and 10 years of fairly heavy drinking took its toll on my mental health.

Yes, switching from the beer and whiskey to the weed has probably saved my marriage and maybe my life.Wolter wrote: ↑10 Mar 2021, 12:19pmNot gonna lie: legal marijuana in Illinois has probably saved me a wretched hangover at best and a blackout at worst a few times this winter.revbob wrote: ↑10 Mar 2021, 11:52amYeah and for me covid has made it harder.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
There's an outtake from the original Office, where Tim is expressing his bafflement and outrage that given all the music available to listen to, Gareth's favourite band is Mike and the Mechanics. I come back to that whenever people express fandom for utter mediocrities.Wolter wrote: ↑10 Mar 2021, 1:02pmPlease convince my brother of this, too.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
For me it means only drinking for enjoyment not as stress relief, which I know doesn’t work but is still tempting.revbob wrote: ↑10 Mar 2021, 1:35pmSadly not an option for me the wife would never go for it among other things.Wolter wrote: ↑10 Mar 2021, 12:19pmNot gonna lie: legal marijuana in Illinois has probably saved me a wretched hangover at best and a blackout at worst a few times this winter.revbob wrote: ↑10 Mar 2021, 11:52amYeah and for me covid has made it harder.

Now if I’m having an especially shit day I’m more likely to take an edible and chill the heck out as compared to pouring booze down my throat until I feel physically terrible instead.
