Yeah, congrats on your week, Mikie9. I feel like we're navigating these waters together, for sure. It seems like every time you post, there is something that I could have written. This time, you mention people who only knew you in your hungover state. I was having these same thoughts today at work, I swear. And to take it a step further, I was wondering about myself. I've been doing my job for about 13.5 years, and I realized that I've been working hungover almost the entire time. I actually started getting a bit freaked out--working sober is totally new.
But like you said, it will take a while--and I'm fine with "a while," much better than the way it was.
Congrats again on your week, bud. Let's start working on the next one!
