That's a lot I would say. I am a recovering alcoholic and if it was 15-20 a year ago and 30-35 next year it's going to go really bad. I am a recovering alcoholic so for me it's 0 but at the end it was 20-25 a night, I would shake, sweat and panic with less, black out all the time, and was losing my mind. It was the best approximation of hell I could imagine and saw no way out.

0-3 per month

Maybe 2-3 on average. Used to be 10-20 but I've made some friends who aren't about that drinking life, and it's very refreshing, no pun intended

0. With where my headspace is now; I would be an alcoholic in two months if I started

AT&T: HBO-MAX is probably top 3 stream platforms along with netflix and disney plus. Despite this AT&T trades at a super low multiple. Is this the next glow-up a la Disney this past month? I think so. They've already got an extensive library and have consistently over 20 years delivered the best shows on TV, period. I understand that the core AT&T business may seem like a "liability" to the valuation but I still think that their valuation doesn't make sense. What am I missing?

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

Everyone who I want to like me or to hangout with doesn’t respond to my texts or tells me they are too busy. This weekend I reached out to 12 people to see if they wanted to grab coffee or a drink or go for a walk. The number of people who just didn’t respond astounded me. I ended up eating dinner in bed by myself and getting brunch on my own.

The only people who reach out to me, I don’t want to hangout with. I don’t have the same interests as them and have to try really hard… cont below
