Normally I’m a heavy drinker but I’ve barely been drinking lately, figured it would be good to be more sober for all the stress in my life. I’m not sure I can recommend it.

Yeah I usually only last a week or two.
There is some euphoria after the first couple days, but then that fades. And then I’m just as miserable as before, but without the small joy of alcohol. So I go back.

Cr. I don’t even limit it to “only starting after 12 o’clock” anymore. I have a beer or two while I’m showering and picking out a tie and taking a shit or whatever in the morning. Then always a drink when I first sit down at my desk. Love the energy I get from that one. Then for lunch I walk to one of a few places near me for a high-protein meal like seared fish and martinis. Then I come back to the office and do most of the “high pressure” type stuff because I’m most relaxed in the afternoon.
