Food I have a confession to make.

[Syrup Beaver]

I'm literally in the hospital waiting for a liver transplant. I know a bit about drinking.

I must be mis-remembering who you are then.

Hope it goes well.

Parts, the Clonus Horror seems relevant here.

Most transplant lists require 6 months of alcohol abstinence to even get on the list

...really? I literally had zero idea about my condition/situation DESPITE BEING IN THE HOSPITAL.

Well obviously you should know that dummy, but not everyone does. I know a few that have had a liver transplant.

I just can’t stand the taste of them.

Wait, would you really drink a beer? If so, I'll totally make it and send one to you.

So it was from drinking? I thought you said it was something else? Hep?

What would you say that you're addicted to now instead of alcohol?

Depends on if it tastes like beer or not. I’ve tried about 20 and all but one blackberry one was disgusting.

Nothing in particular, I just have to be mindful of not going overboard with things that I enjoy.

Look, I made two throwaway comments for comedy. I didnt subscribe to posting my medical record.

I know more about the specifics of my condition than most of the rotation doctors... want to talk about waste in the medical system... it's dumb how often I get sent to other departments for non-relevant/contra-indicated procedures.

Ahhh, it was my understanding that people usually replace it with a healthier addiction. Religion is usually a big one, smoking is also pretty common. Or am I totally wrong?

When I quit smoking I didnt replace it with anything, I just wanted to not be smoking anymore

There are posters on the wall in a few places I've been that are like "you just quit X don't replace it with smoking, call maryland quits.

Also I'm not sure you understand how condescending you sound rn.

Food is often a big replacement for some, work is another, so is exercise. I became quite involved in a recovery community, so I guess there’s that. A lot of people in recovery already smoked, I don’t think they started after quitting something else.

When you spend the amount of time that addicts do in their addictions, you’re bound to need something to fill that time up.

Are you okay?

From my understanding it's very common for people to replace it with something else... I'm genuinely interested to see if he did.

IMHO, smoking is a bit different than having to stop doing something because its destroying your life (not just your lungs).

I didn’t find it condescending

Chain smoking, like my parents did until they had kids, is arguably just as bad. I of course didn't know them in the 70s but there are like no pics of my mom from that period where she doesn't have a cigarette and my dad always had a cigar stump.
