  • https://fuckcombustion.com/ is a good resource for discussions. I agree with the other poster that Dynavap is a good starting point. There is some learning curve to get the process dialed in, but it’s not too hard. If you want something electric, Planet of the Vapes Lobo is decent. Though, I do think it’s probably worth putting that money toward the Tinymight2. I have had probably 20 vaporizers in the last 10 years and the TM2 is about all I use anymore. If you enjoy using them at home, I really recommend going through water.



  • Retired on 12/31, so I’m at 79 days. Over the 25 years I was in active drinking service, I probably averaged 3+ beers about 3 times a week. So, it wasn’t totally debilitating but certainly I did some regretful things and generally wasted a ton of time.

    A few years ago I noticed I would get drunker quicker than expected, so I had to start monitoring a little more. This eventually just became the moderation game we hear about - 1 beer wasn’t satisfying but eventually even 2 beers were enough to fuck up my sleep.

    I just finally figured I’m done feeling like crap. Well, I still feel like crap but at least I’m not making it 10 times harder on myself by drinking.

    Each day I think about it a little less. Really hoping I get to the other sober thing I hear about - feeling genuine joy again! I do find myself thinking and exploring hobbies I dropped in high school when booze took over. It’s fun to get to know myself again. IWNDWYT ❤️
