Do only one dish by owning only one dish.

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?
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.
