Thankfully(?), I've reached a somewhat symbiotic relationship with my functional alcoholism. Drunk me does the laundry and empties the dishwasher, and sober me no longer nags drunk me for drinking so much.

bruh I hate to break it to you...

I accept that. lol
OTOH, that's pretty much the only reason I made it through 2016-2020 with my sanity intact. Now 2025 rolls around and....ugh.

I just want to offer the perspective that maybe your sanity stayed exactly the same you just don't look at it when drunk.

Hey, I've seen you posting/commenting hits here for the last year and a half, I like you sober. Sober you is cool.

Have you tried going to the meetings yet?
ptz@dubvee.org · 4 pts · 1y
If it gets to the point I think I need to, I would give it a go.
This isn't the most cliche thing I could say (it is the cliche), but I can and do stop when I want to. Every few weeks, I'll go 2, 3, or 4 weeks without even a drop. Mostly just as a self-check to make sure I can. If I ever can't (yet to happen), then that's my notice that I have a real problem rather than one I joke about on the internet.
I do drink a lot and technically fall under textbook definition, but I don't hide bottles around the office, drink during the day, or feel like I have to have a drink to get through anything.

That's a little like saying you'll get the brakes checked after you have an accident.
Next time you decide to stop, why not go to the meetings? They have them online, 24/7. At worst, you'll hear some wild stories.

Sometimes, they have fresh donuts. Jussayin

You’re using the same flawed logic I to to tell me I’ve got no real problem.
However I spin it though, the booze really inhibits my happiness in a bunch of ways.
If you quit again, even for just a few weeks, and need an accountability buddy, hit me up.

Add shaving and taking out the trash and feeding, well, everything depending on me to be fed, and....

can i use hair removal cream for shaving? is it bad to leave it on for days?
verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y
Nah, it's probably exfoliating..and moisturizing...at the same time, like 100000 other products...that's sussy

Podcasts, my friend. That or audiobooks. Give your brain something to do
massive_bereavement@fedia.io · 7 pts · 1y
I've found myself more often hoping for further mindless tasks because I want to keep listening to my podcasts.
spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 1y
Do nothing and stare at walls for hours, gives you a good base of nothingness to serve your podcasts on
massive_bereavement@fedia.io · 5 pts · 1y
I love music and can just listen to music without doing anything, but then I feel guilty for not doing anything with the rest of the body.

Have you tried turning your brain into a black hole of emotions so guilt at being idle can never escape? Works for me some times!
verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y
I've got a stack of those you can take: cleaning the chicken coop, that's 2/3 of an ep of Midnight Burger or 2 Gibi ASMRs. Friend discount, just for you.

Can also have a YouTube video, movie or TV show on the phone on the side.
Although I would recommend spending the time on some mindfulness. There's a lot to be said for being alone with your thoughts and every minute of the day doesn't need distraction.

exactly.
cooked meals and clean clothes with long stretches of repeated forgetting about slimy dishes and fermenting clothes in between.

An unending cycle of saving money, too, damn it

I have never thought that in my adult life I'd relate to muggy from New Vegas this much.

I actually don’t mind doing the dishes, don’t know why. I actually like it more than doing the dishwasher but it takes too long
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org · 2 pts · 1y
I Kind of dribbled this by using the same plate/knive for the week and then I only have to do dishes once a week. But I also usually only eat bread at home, since I usually eat lunch at university.
I usually only do laundry every two weeks which isn't that bad.
PostiveNoise@kbin.melroy.org · 2 pts · 1y
But isn't doing laundry totally optional? Or maybe my Imaginary Friend is giving me bad suggestions again.
AZERTY@feddit.nl · 5 pts · 1y
Absolutely optional. You can get FOUR uses from underwear if you're smart enough.

If you keep your butt that clean, the price will be high....chafing....

TRUTH!
AddLemmus@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 1y
That is a method which actually worked out, for years! Just now, with a child, I use a dishwasher.
One big regret: As a single, I should have bought one of those tiny dishwashers that don't need installing and can just be filled with water on top.
