Due to recent developments and incidents*, as well as previous trends and tendencies, I’ve made the decision that staying permanently sober is probably a better option for me than what has been developing.

Now I’m not doing anything stupid like enrolling myself in any kind of religiously based program with no basis in science or anything like that. I’m just stopping. I’ve done this before with other substances, most noticeably caffeine, and that was a full chemical addiction. This is just a lifestyle thing.

I’m sure it will be hard, but I’m not going to be one of those fucktards who suddenly looks down on all drinking, or will completely avoid being in the same building as an alcoholic beverage. Life will be just the same, just with me not drinking beer, and possibly looking even more brooding at times.

The best part, now I’ll have a bunch of extra cash that was budgeted to be spent on beer….
