Weenie and her boyfriend were the best hosts for Rifflandia ever. The guest bed really is the comfiest and they did me a lot of sexual favours while I was there. I finally got to experience The Flaming Lips and I got drunk off cider for the first time. Nah but fer realz, you were the best guest and festival buddy. It was super fun!!! (And don't worry about traumatizing my dog, he's just a weirdo!)

I realize I'm a bit late to the party, but Friendly's Rodney Dangerfield quips make me happier that most things.

I dont know how you guys do sober months. When my friend was in Montreal for some exchange thing he tried to do sober Mondays, and even that was a total failure half the time.

The question, I suppose, is why? Is this a Canadian thing?
I drink and smoke weed to help me deal with the horror and tedium of my daily life. You can call it a crutch, man, but crutches help people walk.

It is most definitely NOT a Canadain thing. They're just lacking in hepatic fortitude.

I don't think it's a Canadian thing or even an anybody other than me thing. More a "prove to myself that I can do it" thing. Also health. Plus then I can drink for six more months without guilt. I'm kind of a guilt monger.

More power to you. Not being critical at all; I just have no compelling reason not to drink a beer on a Friday night. Or a Tuesday. Whatever.

For me I did "Sober September", but that quickly got switched to "30 in 30", because.. really... you're still sober after one beer, or two.. right? But because I have 8 more drinks i can drink this month.. I may ruin Sober September (but still accomplish 30 in 30).
I clearly ascribe to harm reduction rather than abstinence based therapies.

Me too weenie. But I also did my undergrad research on alcoholism in women... so.... like... I know that my behaviours aren't THAT bad... (or I know when they definitely are).

If any of you ever saw HALF of the texts and confessions I get from Nater on a weekly basis, you would be cheering for her sobriety as well.

I had to prove that my family wasn't a bunch of squares by making up for generations of missed drug use opportunities.

My Mom's sage words of advice when I was a teenager:
"There's nothing that you've done or will do, that I haven't done already. So don't be stupid."
My Mom is awesome.

"Nobody ever got pregnant giving blowjobs"
