10 years sober this year. Best decision I ever made. There’s a very long and fabled social history of alcohol, but I fear we’ve reached an inflection point where the physical toll it takes outweighs the social lubrication that used to drive humanity through the darkest days.

We’re seeing a bit of a renaissance right now. Men are standing up, cleaning up their acts, and starting to trudge through the mud that is globalist leftism in an attempt to try to save humanity, even if it’s done against an overwhelming media narrative driven by white liberal women.

yes, it is a decision. And there is a parable of kicking out demons and if you don’t put something else in there, the demons come back with their buddys.

In the process of a divorce with a hoarder. It is not about the stuff, it is about the heart. In every decision, she chose the stuff.

It is hell to live with someone with an addiction. I am the problem to everyone because I tried to fix the problem. I still remember thinking in the shower, “I am free of the stuff and all the manipulative addictive behavior that came with it.”

I felt like my old self.

You are right, men are making choices, throwing out the evil stuff. In regard to that, we need to be be encourageing and point out you GET RID OF A BAD HABIT BY REPLACING IT WITH A GOOD ONE. Else there is an empty heart the demons come back to with their friends.
