Today is March 27, 2025.
It has been 366 days since my last drink.
It has been 589 days since I decided to quit drinking for a year (now indefinitely).
As a fun bonus, it has also been 117 days since I quit nicotine, which is apparently long enough for my brain to be somewhat unaddicted.
Since I do not use other recreational drugs — even my caffeine intake rarely ventures above 100 mg per day — this means that I have recently had the opportunity to experience life without random shit in my brain for the first time since I was 18, which also means for the first time ever as an adult. Mind-boggling.
Thank you to everybody for your support, yes including those of you I haven’t spoken to in over a year. I know I have benefited from and continue to benefit from much Grace without my knowledge, a great deal of which which I may never know — as is the typical experience of each human lifetime. However, I hope you believe me when I say I spend a lot of time thinking about all the Kindness I both witness and personally receive from all of you.
So, thank you, every one. On we go.
