Here is a top quality giclée print made from a digital scan of a painting of two lifelong friends deeply engaged in conversation over some type of drinks in a tranquil African village within a jungle setting. The colors are so bright.

One of my highly recommended restaurants in Philadelphia: The Dandelion, known in the area for their American take on British cuisine and cozy interior. I highly recommend getting their roast, it was incredibly juicy and very flavorful, I'd even say it was probably the best roast I've ever had in years! This place is even better during the winter months as they have a nice fire going. The beer I got in the fifth photo is a Vieille Provision Saison Dupont.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee of “pleasure.” That is to say, he seeks to make life bearable by becoming less alive. Drunkenness, for example, is temporary suicide: the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)

Before the awful festivities of tomorrow's holiday, I wanted to take a moment to reflect, as it will mark 17 years of #sobriety for me, personally.

It's been a tough road, and 45/47 definitely has made the past decade rough as all hell. But I keep showing up, one day at a time.

My health has declined since the first COVID infection in 2022, but even with these symptoms, it's a world of difference being sober. My liver and kidneys aren't constantly filtering poison from my body, and after 17 years of time off, maybe they're doing pretty great. Take a look at the before and after photos below...70 extra lbs is a lot to carry!

If you are questioning whether you need to stop drinking, or picking up that drug of choice: Don't lie to yourself. It's incredibly easy to lie to yourself, very difficult and admirable to reject lying to yourself in this moment.

If I can do this, you can do this. Stay strong. Stay alive.

Here's to tomorrow's challenges, which I will face like I did today's: With effort, but also resolve
