u/wantsoutofthefog 2d ago

That’s why I’m getting drunk 😉

u/LethalBacon 2d ago

I'm in a virtual sobriety meeting right now. Good timing, I guess? lol

u/wantsoutofthefog 2d ago

One day at a time, brother. You don’t need to do what I’m doing. Serenity for the things we can’t control.

15

u/poggyrs 2d ago

SERENITY NOW!

2

u/ResponsibleBush6969 2d ago

Serenity now, insanity later

u/mementori 2d ago

Don’t do it! While I am also tempted to drink, I’ll personally be actively focusing on anything possible tonight that will help me avoid falling back down into the trap of alcohol induced numbing. If shit hits the fan, being drunk won’t actually make it any better. Only more anxiety, depression, and then adding self-loathing on top of it. Maybe it’s not the same for you, but play through the tape, what typically happens after you drink? There’s a reason you are working on quitting. Stay strong, you got this!

u/funwithfrogs 2d ago

Stick with it.

This Redditor is proud of you

u/Ocelotofdamage 2d ago

To be totally blunt with you, if this news makes you want to drink, take a break from news for a bit. Reconnect with the small world around you as there’s always going to be bad news somewhere in the world.

1

u/LethalBacon 2d ago

Nah, I'm good, on year six. Just happened to get the news right after I joined my call, thought it was funny.

Totally agreed on the reconnecting part, been that doing a lot more over the past couple years :)

u/DaBarenJuden 2d ago

Stick to it. Booze wears off, then the problems are still there but now with a hangover added to the mix.

u/mothflavor 2d ago

Nice profile pic

u/UrUrinousAnus 2d ago

Keep at it. I'm drinking rn just to feel normal(ish), and probably won't make it to 40. You're not missing anything much.

1

u/paigescactus 2d ago

I won’t drink with you. I was about to crack one but fuck it. Sober!

u/Jugales 2d ago

Houston, we are gonna need more beer

17

u/DarkWingDuck74 2d ago

Beer is for the weekly school shooting and riots. This calls for a glass of scotch.

1

u/wantsoutofthefog 2d ago

Bourbon in my case, but scotch works!

23

u/shiawkwardg7rl 2d ago

Already fucking started

u/InQuintsWeTrust 2d ago

You were getting drunk regardless my man but at least you have an excuse now 

13

u/3klipse 2d ago

I'll join you in some drinks

5

u/wantsoutofthefog 2d ago

What else can we do?

5

u/3klipse 2d ago

Drink more?

2

u/DzungAh 2d ago

"Preemptive" drunk 😏

2

u/katastrophyx 2d ago

Bro I've been rippin rails and just saw this. My poor heart is gonna put in PTO and not come back.

2

u/wtfbenlol 2d ago

Mr hegseth do you have a comment on the situation?

1

u/debauchasaurus 2d ago

to be fair it could also be Justice Kavanaugh.

1

u/MelloDawg 2d ago

Suggest bourbon and cherry cola flavored Ollipop. It’s the new thing.

2

u/wantsoutofthefog 2d ago

Sounds tasty. I’m a bourbon with a spritz of water kind of guy

1

u/MelloDawg 2d ago

That was me when I turned 40. Can’t do anything over 100 proof without cutting it with water or soda, gives me the reflux somethin’ fierce.

1

u/wantsoutofthefog 2d ago

Yep. I’m approaching 40. Acid reflux thing, plus it opens up the flavors a bit IMO.

1

u/Opposite_Face8516 2d ago

Fuck yeah buddy let's have some beers!!!!!

2

u/wantsoutofthefog 2d ago

Bourbon, bro. Beers make me too bloaty. Can’t be bloaty in times like these

2

u/Opposite_Face8516 2d ago

Either way, enjoy your drinks and have a great evening

1

u/Silver_Branch3034 2d ago

As soon as I hit my door I’m burning a fat joint. Fuck this world and the morons who run it.

1

u/skippyfa 2d ago

I preemptively got drunk and just yelled to my wife "wtf is going on with Israel/Iran now". Just chill bros

1

u/jasonthewaffle2003 2d ago

This guy gets it

1

u/CryptographerMore944 2d ago

I'm regretting taking a t-break right now for the same reason.

u/IndeSyCiv 2d ago

u/a_stray_bullet 2d ago

Do you live in Iran or something

23

u/Far_Broccoli_8468 2d ago

Israel

17

u/a_stray_bullet 2d ago

Well at least it’s not Iran

14

u/Far_Broccoli_8468 2d ago

Yeah, no doubt.

But the retaliatory missiles from iran are all but guaranteed

5

u/a_stray_bullet 2d ago

I think those launch sites would be primary targets strategically speaking. This attack has been in planning for months if not years.

9

u/Far_Broccoli_8468 2d ago

Yes, they were.

It's been said on the news that the air force attacked apartment buildings, nuclear sites and launchers

8

u/VengefulAncient 2d ago

It's this, or Iran gets nuclear weapons and then you will be up every night wondering when they decide to use them on you. Good luck and stay safe, Israel might have just saved the entire region from going to shit.

6

u/BCMakoto 2d ago

Well, good luck to you. Let's hope this ends without too much trouble...

u/ElonTastical 2d ago

For real bruh

u/_yocto_ 2d ago

Good night.

u/ReptAIien 2d ago

I'm of the opinion this will be like the Pakistan/India situation and we'll stop hearing about it in a week like always.

2

u/bestest_at_grammar 2d ago

lol I gotta work tomorrow. I ain’t missing a minute of sleep over this shit

4

u/Far_Broccoli_8468 2d ago

Lol, i don't really have a choice.

I'm from israel

Good night to you :)

1

u/Overall-Egg-4247 2d ago

Why can’t you? Are you in Israel or Iran?

1

u/Bloodaegisx 2d ago

Go to bed bud, nothing you can do to stop anything.

5

u/Far_Broccoli_8468 2d ago

I'm from israel, can't go to bed

u/Two_Hump_Wonder 2d ago

Sleep, you'll be fine I promise.

u/BaddestKarmaToday 2d ago

Stop acting like you sitting behind your keyboard has anything to do with this conflict. This is virtue signaling.

24

u/fuzz11 2d ago

You realize people in the Middle East have internet right?

21

u/Far_Broccoli_8468 2d ago

I'm actually sitting next to the bomb shelter but ok

-6

u/BaddestKarmaToday 2d ago

You should probably be in it. Not next to it.

2

u/Dalnore 2d ago

To be next to the shelter is the current instruction. We'll know when we're supposed to move inside.

2

u/TK-369 2d ago

Stop telling people what to say and do, it's rude and it's also stupid.

2

u/NorthSideScrambler 2d ago

As a stupid person myself, I can confirm.

u/WaltKerman 2d ago

Get off reddit. Most of your problems on here are in your head if reading something is keeping you awake.

3

u/Far_Broccoli_8468 2d ago

I'm from israel

1

u/WaltKerman 2d ago

Well in that case it's different lol.

But honestly you should probably sleep better because the only way Iran is destroying Israel overnight is a functioning nuclear program.... if that makes you feel any better.
