#teetotal — Public Fediverse posts

Finally beginning to see the bigger changes I expected from giving up alcohol. One year in. It takes that long. Mainly physical, but also psychological.

Although I miss some aspects of drinking I can now clearly see the benefits of stopping: but I haven’t turned into an anti-drink crusader. I feel bizarrely at peace with it. I’d been drinking a long time, but like giving up tobacco it’s never too late I guess.

I've not tried this one before. A pretty good IPA. Has a smooth, maltiness about it.

And…

That’s it! Do what you gotta do, and it gets easier! After the first time, people just know. And that’s you, done.

It really is the best feeling, having all that extra day, less drama, less paranoia or depression, more money, more health and happiness.

I’m here if you need. Happy to message with advice.

Over and out. x

OK, so here is my #introduction !

I live in the most isolated capital city in the world, #Perth , and therefore on Whadjuk #noongar boodja. I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the land, and their Elders - past, present, and emerging.

I am male (he/him), and married to the amazing artist @leece .

I have been a #Linux #Sysadmin for most of my professional life, and use Linux or derivatives exclusively at home.

For fun, I play #rpg games, and #boardgame . I also swim as a #mermaid (well, mer-dude), and ride a three-wheeled human-powered vehicle called a Me-Mover. I have a Hobie Outback pedal-powered kayak, which takes me back to my past as a Sea Scout on the Swan. I enjoy playing with #lego, #cooking, #preserving, and many, many other things.

I am #teetotal (and have been all my life) but love making mixed drinks, and have an extensive #zeroproof bar.

I am an amateur #photographer without any particular speciality, but I do particularly like taking shots of #birds (especially #raptors ), and other mer-folk. I also enjoy shooting #pinhole B&W, and play with in-camera #cyanotype (about which I have written extensively on my blog) . To round things out, I take quite a few #solargraph images.

For the past few years, I have been learning Nyoongar (primarily the Marribank).

Recently I have fallen into writing - you can find my two on-going tales as #CerianandVaranWar and #GwenAndGrey . You can also find links to all my stories here: https://rdmasters.lympago.com/p/microfic-and-tootfic-list.html

Here is a shot of me taken by the amazing @leece on #Wadjemap .

For all my comrades and fellow travellers who are

Keep safe if you're out with people on psychoactives, tonight is always a tricky one to navigate. *big hugs*
