In fact, I was always the biggest alcoholic in my family, addicted to Jägermeister but I had to choose between continuing to drink and dying or stopping. Well, I’m here now writing this post
I hope you have found peace in your sobriety, it’s not an easy road.
In fact, there comes a time in your life where choices must be made
Congratulations! How long have you been sober? I’ll be up to six years in a few months. Wewt! Keep it up!
Since the end of 2019, it was difficult in the beginning but now is everything fine
I can even attend parties without giving into temptation
You picked the hardest fucking year to quit.
2019 was when my consumption spiralled out of control (I’m sober for 3 months now).Congrats, bro.
Not now, bro. I’m in the zone!
Jager bombs.
I had a severe alcohol problem but I hid it quite well, high functioning (most of the time, the other time I was hiding behind things like depression, anxiety, burnouts,…). So I got so much alcohol and alcohol related gifts as presents always. Then I finally started to cut down on drinking until I eventually stopped. But since no one really knew why I did that, they continued with the gifts. Even when I was pregnant and had a baby, I wasn’t invited to drink but it was assumed I would pick it up again soon, so… More alcohol.
I just moved and my new landlord gave me a bottle of champagne. Though he even knew I am still breastfeeding (a great excuse to not drink) but “well a glass can’t hurt on Christmas”.
Well fuck me. Ghosts are real.
Everyone thinks I’m an alcoholic? I’ll show them!

LOL! For me, it’s any Guinness-branded merch and bourbon glasses. I’m not single anymore, and we had to subtly suggest a gift card for fancy coffee beans. Still got a sweet Guinness hat, though.
Nah, when you are the heavy drinker in the family, those gifts are golden.

Family talking: “what does Garry like these days?”
Family talking: “hmm. I don’t really know.”
Family talking: “he kind of goes to work a bit but he doesn’t do much else.”
Family talking: “silent thinking”
Family talking: “Alcohol?”
Family talking: “yes! That’s what Garry does, i mean that’s what Garry is, I mean that’s WHO Garry is. An alcoholic. Garry the alcoholic.”
Personally I like gift cards and socks/underwear, I need those articles of clothing and the gift cards save me spending my money on those places I likely would’ve went to anyway
I always get some useless trinket and the line “you’re just so hard to shop for”

I have literally told them things I would be happy with… I’ve been very specific about some things too. For example, I tend to be hard on jeans so anytime gift giving comes up I will tell people that I will be happy with new jeans and specify my size.
I know I tend towards nonmaterialistic and people seem to hate buying practical gifts but that’s honestly what I would prefer. I have also said on multiple occasions that if they really can’t find anything, I will be extremely happy with a simple bottle of vodka or anything penguin related… Yet somehow I never get useless penguin trinkets.
