Just passed 7 months. It’s a roller coaster. I was someone that had 3+ drinks every other day or so (drink one day, recover the next, excited to drink again the next day).

It has always been easy to convince myself to make exceptions, but after many sobriety attempts I know better now. Each drinking session, no matter how small, instantly resets my brain and body back to my drinking phase. So, I will not drink with you today!!

I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium a few years ago and didn’t realize it was from STIV until I got there and thought, hmm this looks strangely familiar. Many spots still look exactly the same!

Most iPhone purchasers at that time were high income, as it was an expensive new technology and the general consumer was happy getting ‘free’ phones from carriers. It was also costly and difficult to switch carriers. And further, I know from having worked in banking that it is very difficult to get accurate income data.

Taken together, my guess is this is just detecting the effect of higher income on lower birth rates.

All of which I learned how to do step by step, reading the manual and asking questions. These are not special talents or hidden secrets. I'm not unique.

I’ve been saying some variation of this at work for years. Yet still, somehow I’m the only person that can read and understand the data and the documents.
