I quit drinking...but didn't expect this (video)


Former alcoholic author Mark Manson
Drinking alcohol over the weekend (summer kick off Memorial Day)? Sure, why not? I only drink to drown my sorrow. No one told me sorrow could swim.

So I drink, it swims, and here we go round and round again until I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired -- but not so much so that I can stop.

Gosh, how I'd love to stop. But how? Who in the Hades is Mark Manson, and what does he know about getting off this life-shortening toxin that has ruined my human existence? Oh, HE'S the guy who wrote The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck?!

(Mark Manson) March 30, 2023. Why one should quit alcohol and the surprising effects when one does. This video compares the benefits of drinking alcohol — like pretending to have a personality at parties — to the benefits of not drinking alcohol — like enjoying Monday mornings.

Hearing my experience might challenge one to also question whether or not our drinking habits are truly serving us as a lifestyle or in terms of our values.
Liquid ignorance tastes bad.
