It's wild to think there was a long period of my life where "beer" was something I consumed, discussed, or thought about every day.

I can't recall the last time I typed that word until now.

It's great to be free.

That's the key thing for me. Reddit has totally lost any sense of trust and respect I had for the platform. Why bother supporting a company like that?

I feel you completely. I spend most of my free time with my family, hiking or paddling, or reading books. It's nice to have places online to burn some time, but I'd sooner give it up than be forced into some corporate playground. The past 15-20 years have shown that it just doesn't work.

Awesome! This has been puzzling me. Thanks!

[–] mcpheeandme 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Congrats! That's really amazing.

It took me a while to reap the rewards of sobriety, but they definitely came.

Hang in there, and reach out if you need to vent.

[–] mcpheeandme 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you. That's super kind, and it's really nice to hear.

It's a beautiful day to be mindful, present, and grateful. IWNDWYT.

[–] mcpheeandme 4 points 2 years ago

That sounds like an excellent day! Enjoy! IWNDWYT.

That's an amazing story! And you are really freaking doing it!

[–] mcpheeandme 4 points 2 years ago

So well said. It's great to feel safe and comfortable and like myself.

[–] mcpheeandme 1 points 2 years ago

I really don't know. I definitely recall Spez saying it's safe. But it seems like we'd be wise to not trust a word he says.

Thanks! And congrats to you on being sober and present for your kids. I'm sure they love it.

Man, I recall the same kind of scene growing up. I thought binge drinking was normal. Every adult I knew did it, and they did it often.

Trying to show my daughter a different world. We took her to a glacial pond and a nice ridge with nearly 360-degree views today. Kid loved it.
