This administration will require a marathon, not a sprint. Everything is alarming, but not every single thing is a 5-alarm-fire.

Last time I went through this admin I became an #alcoholic from a combination of genetics and groundlessless and daily heartbreak. I spent the Biden era getting my shit together.

Dooming feels like realism right now. But having destroyed my mind and body doing that before, it's not an option in #sobriety for me if I want to stay that way. Watch your habits!

#Alcohol use disorder, which affects over 10% of Americans, can lead to persistent and serious #insomnia. Difficulties falling asleep and staying asleep can last even after months of #sobriety, increasing the risk of relapse. But treating withdrawal-related insomnia is difficult, partly because what’s going on in the brain in this condition remains largely mysterious.

I don't have a big boffo speech or anything to celebrate 10 years of #Sobriety from alcohol. All I really want to say is that anyone can find themselves struggling with a dependency, regardless of any personal or cultural variable. And it is not a moral failing. It is a mental aberration. It is no choice. It becomes an absence of choice.

If you are struggling with addiction, please know that you are not bad, you are not hopeless, and you are not alone. I could not have survived to make it to this point without other addicts helping me. You are not alone. Please, reach out. You are worth it.

My gratitude is boundless. My mother continues to support me every day and is a constant source of wisdom. And without my sister taking care of me for those first 6 or so years, I would never have stuck it out. All my friends and family in recovery, especially those who we've lost along the way - I honor and cherish your deeds, words and memories.

Lots of love to you all.

Long Covid can cause MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) which gives many people alcohol intolerance.

I’m wildly allergic to alcohol and as my condition progressed I become unable to even be around open booze.

This graph shows the decline in alcohol sales in San Francisco from 2023 to 2024. Notice red wine is at the top - and it’s known to be one of the worst for those with MCAS.

That elephant in the room is trying to get your attention again! 1/2

A jolly and sober holiday season — is there such a thing? For some, definitely. For others, it’s an awkward struggle through social gatherings with drinkers who appear to be having so much more fun. But it doesn’t have to be that way. @AssociatedPress provides these expert tips for navigating an alcohol-free season — and enjoying it.

AP News · Practical tips for staying sober during the holidaysBy MELISSA RAYWORTH

I started this mastodon account yesterday as a fresh start and a blank slate. I do not have an interest in seeing politics, hateful posts, or anything negative and impure. I am here for love, compassion, and mindfulness. If you have any interest in #Shinto #Buddhism #JapaneseBuddhism #Mindfulness #Meditation #Betterment #MentalHealth #MensMentalHealth #Sobriety or any similar concepts, please give this post a favorite, or me a follow so I can follow back.

I want to cultivate a timeline full of respect, unity, love, and compassion.
