Sobriety and pre-spring cleaning tirades?
Sobriety and pre-spring cleaning tirades?
Did anyone else go on a tirade and "clean house" when they sobered up? Like reorganize closets, throw stuff away, give stuff away and almost become a born-again minimalist?
I literally filled a notepad with a checklist of areas of the house to go through.... with sub notes of what can be kept and what needs to go. Is this normal? Will I become a monk?

perhaps I should elaborate... I'm off to a retreat tomorrow (silent minimalism for 9 days) run by the abbot of a monastery next door. I've been giving away and throwing away things for a few months now. Wonderfully liberating. Anyway, all the best. (afk for 10 days)
Good for you! If I was single, I would jump at a chance like that.
There are some really good youtube channels on minimalistic lifestyles. Some more realistic than others. Its been a calling of mine for some time. Being married with a family makes it extra interesting.
