Sober 47

In 2016, I put money on Trump winning the election. As a hedge, I said that I would remain sober during the Trump presidency. I didnt really think Trump would win. But of course, he did.

So I went sober in Jan 2017. I kept it up for 5 months, but then I broke down.

I am sitting here, at 35, and now wondering about the future. I don’t want to be a drunk uncle. I don’t want to be the booze hound. And I don’t want to be fat, obese. I want my vo2 to go up. And I want to build my tshirt body. And I want to run marathons for ever. For as long as I can.

Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election. Didn’t work. He kept persisting. He was tried and convicted over 4 years. He kept persisting. He ran for president again. He got SHOT and SURVIVED. He persisted. And then he got elected as the 47th president.

It seems like I have been given another chance. Let’s go sober during the Trump presidency. So, starting Monday.

Trump doesn’t drink. He does do other shit, so I need to be careful. But yea, definitely a moment to reduce the consumption a lot.

Fuck, I am not sure if I can do the sober 47, but I am going to try again.
