    I am enjoying movies solo watching once again. Could this mean I am overcoming a clinical depression?

    Could well be. Interest and enthusiasm in my hobbies has always been a positive sign of my depression ebbing away. :)

    Sounds like an improvement. The reduction of, or cessation of anhedonia is a positive development as far as depression goes.

    I wish a lot of you lived closer to Puyallup, WA. I would invite you over for a sober BBQ and movie binge watching. Come to my place and let's party like the nerds we are. Maybe I'll go to more movie meetups in my area and see if I can make some cinephile friends there.

    Drama is one hell of a drug. Letting go of it should be the easiest thing in the world, but it is not. I am healthier without it, as is everyone else. I can think clearly now, but how long will it last this time?

    I feel like binge watching movies and writing reviews when I get home from work today. Sipping hot ginger tea, unsweetened, under a warm fluffy blanket on my recliner couch.

    I feel like eating the Thai Curry boneless wings from a local joint. Along with some fries and a non alcoholic beer. My acid reflux will hate me over that if I indulged in something like this. Every food that I love hates my body.

    I am drinking a 1 liter bottle of Mountain Dew right now. I am feeling like a failure because I caved into that instead of buying liquor. Ideally, I would not be drinking any garbage at all.

    Very true, although full sugar Mountain Dew is not any better when I think about it.

    Mountain Dew may have a lot of sugar/corn syrup, but IMO alcohol is FAR FAR WAY worse, especially with someone who has your history with alcohol. I would rather you drink a liter of Mountain Dew than a bottle of Makers Mark, for sure.

    Sometimes beating addiction starts with "harm reduction."

    A bottle of Mt. Dew is not the perfect solution, no. But, it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative.
    Sometimes, we have to take these things in stages.

    Your choice of soda over booze is something to celebrate, not something to tear yourself down for.

    I am feeling a profound sense of clinical depression. Knowing it is all chemical is helping me navigate through it without a sense of panic. I won't do anything stupid, but I will talk to my doctor very soon.

    Great insight here.

    Hope you get through this tough part soon.

    Ace, RIP, the only talented member of KISS has passed away.

    He and Peter couldn't pass the ego of Gene Simmons. I figure Gene's obnoxious personality was just as toxic as Ace and Peter's drug use. Go figure.

    The bookkeeper at the office is jinxing my weight loss progress. She brought in Krispy Kreme donuts for everybody today. I had one and stopped there. They go great with black coffee.

    They failed in Australia, you see a couple around the place but they're not very popular and struggle to stay in business. They can't compete with Aussie bakeries that sell so much more than just donuts and soft drinks. Donuts were never really popular here to start with, like hotdogs, only kids like them.

    I am going to dedicate some time every week to keeping my house spotless. Starting today. I feel better when my man cave is free of clutter.

    I can relate. When stressed, I basically turn into the Tony Shaloub character, "Monk." I have to clean and arrange everything.

    Just started reading a novel this morning before I had to go to work. Filling my brain with literature just might be the ticket to give me something more interesting to think about than my family.

    I wish I had some cannabis indica.

    Are you sure weed isn't just a substitute for alcohol?
    Any chance that using weed is perpetuating the cycle of addiction?

    I only ask because that how it was for me.
    You don't have to answer, but it is an idea to consider.

    Any deity out there, please give me the strength to purge my brain and heart of false beliefs force fed to me by my blood throughout my life.
