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.
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.
Add shaving and taking out the trash and feeding, well, everything depending on me to be fed, and....
can i use hair removal cream for shaving? is it bad to leave it on for days?
Nah, it's probably exfoliating..and moisturizing...at the same time, like 100000 other products...that's sussy
Podcasts, my friend. That or audiobooks. Give your brain something to do
I've found myself more often hoping for further mindless tasks because I want to keep listening to my podcasts.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy. 😌
Can also have a YouTube video, movie or TV show on the phone on the side.
Although I would recommend spending the time on some mindfulness. There's a lot to be said for being alone with your thoughts and every minute of the day doesn't need distraction.
"if life is an endless cycle of dirty dishes and doing laundry, then life is an endless cycle of homecooked meals and clean clothing"
exactly.
cooked meals and clean clothes with long stretches of repeated forgetting about slimy dishes and fermenting clothes in between.
An unending cycle of saving money, too, damn it
I have never thought that in my adult life I'd relate to muggy from New Vegas this much.
I actually don’t mind doing the dishes, don’t know why. I actually like it more than doing the dishwasher but it takes too long
But isn't doing laundry totally optional? Or maybe my Imaginary Friend is giving me bad suggestions again.
Absolutely optional. You can get FOUR uses from underwear if you're smart enough.
If you keep your butt that clean, the price will be high....chafing....
TRUTH!
That is a method which actually worked out, for years! Just now, with a child, I use a dishwasher.
One big regret: As a single, I should have bought one of those tiny dishwashers that don't need installing and can just be filled with water on top.
I Kind of dribbled this by using the same plate/knive for the week and then I only have to do dishes once a week. But I also usually only eat bread at home, since I usually eat lunch at university.
I usually only do laundry every two weeks which isn't that bad.
