Four years sober here. I still meet friends at bars. Don’t expect them to stop drinking because of me.

Posted on September 25, 2026 at 01:15:31 PM by Lodz

Twice a year I’m tempted on schedule. In the summer when I see Hopslam and winter when I see Guinness. Those are the hardest times.

Alpo is one of the few people who would put that much thought into it.

Back to the board

Thread:

Alpo, you are one of the most thoughtful posters. - By Lodz September 25, 2026 at 12:16:58 PM
- Thanks. Appreciate it. Problem solved itself and he is not going.* - By Alpo September 25, 2026 at 12:32:11 PM
  - I'm dealing with multiple people in my life who stopped drinking. I try to meet them half way. Maybe try to meet up wiith him in a non booze forward environment - By chiwalker September 25, 2026 at 12:39:46 PM

- Friday feedback: You should go back to not posting on the board. (nm) - By suede September 25, 2026 at 12:20:52 PM
  - Huh?* - By Poster P September 25, 2026 at 12:43:19 PM
  - You are deeply troubled, my friend. I’ll keep praying for you.* - By Lodz September 25, 2026 at 12:29:50 PM
    - You're the poster who crashed out and left the board 2 weeks ago after having multiple handles, right? I'll refrain from discussing the South Korea story in detail out of respect to your personal life. (nm) - By suede September 25, 2026 at 12:34:13 PM
      - All correct. Your posts about me and others have gotten angrier. Sounds like I’m in your head?* - By Lodz September 25, 2026 at 01:04:39 PM
      - We do not need to be discouraging those kind of stories.* - By MasterBates September 25, 2026 at 12:36:44 PM
  - WTF.* - By MasterBates September 25, 2026 at 12:23:14 PM
    - Every once in a while somebody says something nice about me and suede has to comment. You don't like me suede, I get it.* - By Alpo September 25, 2026 at 12:54:20 PM
      - You're fine. Lodz is extremely annoying. (nm) - By suede September 25, 2026 at 01:13:36 PM
        
        Lodz is good people and a fine poster.* - By MasterBates September 25, 2026 at 01:16:03 PM
        
        He's a self-aggrandizing weirdo who, if he were 20% more off-kilter, would be doing performance art. (nm) - By suede September 25, 2026 at 01:18:55 PM
        
        No.* - By MasterBates September 25, 2026 at 01:19:47 PM
