Sobriety Pays! Portfolio Full Year Update
I’m not only not losing this money anymore, but my vice money is actually paying me!
I’m not only not losing this money anymore, but my vice money is actually paying me!
I’ve been questioning the increasingly slippery slope of my use disorder and considering a path toward sobriety for years now.
Then the smell of weed and stale bong water hit me in my nose with the force of Mike Tyson’s fist.
I mean, who doesn’t enjoy an ice cold brewsky on a 100 degree + broiler of a day? Especially when beer seems to literally be at every turn! Yet, there and then I confronted and stared down temptation once more. Me two, beer zero.
Even crazier was the sudden appearance of my third eye. It manifested as a sensation in the center of my forehead, right above the space between my eyebrows.
But, thankfully, I made it through in one piece and found that Dry January, like Sober October, and Dry July have much to teach us. And this would hold true for any dry month you might choose to pursue. It’s important to point out, that if you need an excuse to dry out and give your brain and liver a break, there’s no need to wait for a designated ‘dry’ month!
Yes. I actually sat down and calculated that I had made it 99.4% of the way to my goal. If that’s not some sort of crazy alcoholic logic, I don’t know what is. Failure was imminent.
