I am legit blown away that this greentext didn’t end with Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur. I was absolutely sure that would be how it ended after reading the penultimate paragraph
Fellas, is it gay to really really like a girl?
Should have kept drinking. Nothing to look forward to in sobriety.
That’s a bullshit lie, as someone who battled alcoholism for over a dozen years and finally got my shit together.
Similar situation and I second this. Life is better in every way once you pry alcoholism away from it.
I third this, it was where all the waste lie in my life. Quitting drinking made quitting smoking easier, which made exercising easier, all of which gave me a more positive outlook, and before I knew it, I had myself the best girl I could have ever asked for (she asked ME out), my home was clean, I had the energy to clean and cook and type out run-on sentences for days!
Quit at 36, I’m 38, best two years of my adult life. Plenty more to go. Glad to be on the same journey as you fellas
