I feel like buying a large bottle of whiskey for the upcoming weekend.

[Metalhead]

Because a gallon of Maker's Mark will make me feel happy and content during my three days of isolation during the Fourth of July weekend. I certainly would mind the nonstop annoying fireworks a lot less. /end sarcasm

Maybe I should find something better to do with my time instead, and some other way to cope with the asshole neighbors making all that noise all night long.

How did it actually make you feel the last time you did something like that?

It seems like it brought neither happiness nor contentment if I recall correctly.

It is hard to express sarcasm through the written word.

Oh.
Are the first two sentence of Post #1 meant as sarcasm?

You could use the standard indicator for that:
/s

 

[Metalhead]

Yeah, I probably should do that.

Sometimes my very deep sarcasm is so subtle that people think it is serious. Good luck for the weekend, stay sober and sane. This may be a good test of your determination and fortitude.

Hey, that’s great. Glad to hear you are not feeling true temptation.

Look at it as an opportunity to rediscover yourself through a bit of solitude, rather than feel a need to be with others or with a bottle.

Addiction thrives in isolation. Perhaps find an AA meeting either IRL or online. I know your being sarcastic, but it does sound like there is some nostalgia for your drink of choice creeping in. Its your old friend, a natural reminiscence during a time where people gather to do the thing you cannot do anymore. A vulnerable time for certain, so get busy, and reach out.

Another certainty, no one relapses and is glad they did it. There is no guarantee you come back from it.

Find an empty whiskey bottle, fill it with peach tea (or some other harmless, non-alcoholic beverage) and drink shots of that.

Thanks @tree for that.
Are there more of these indicators - looks like a useful other tool in my communication vocabulary

Oh, I am feeling true temptation and I am talking myself out of it at the same time.

You should try Loops earplugs, they're pretty good at blocking noise from what I've heard
