I'll pray for you Jack.
Did it hurt?
When you fell from heaven?
3.5 years here. It’s such a game changer
3 years no alcohol.
6 years reporting for duty 🫂
Hell yea dog! I actually stopped smoking weed too- sometimes I get small urges to 'relax' when I get stressed out, but I just stay strong and resist. It's been about one month now. I think imma quit that for good. It feels good to be sober.
The best is when you get used to turning drinks down when you have no desire to drink.
💜🔥
wow, congrats man. anybthoughts and/or insights so far?
- alcohol-free beer is your friend - alcohol-free gin is a scam - being out with friends becomes a lot more about the conversations you'll have - everyone turns stupid at around 11pm - you're always happy about your choices when you wake up the next day
FACTS
- alcohol-free beer is your friend I love Weissbier, I doubt I can find an alcohol free one :( > - alcohol-free gin is a scam I think 8 out of 10 people are unable to distinguish whether they are being served an alcohol-free cocktail
> I doubt I can find an alcohol free one I have very good news for you.
Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000. The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered. To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct. The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance or guidance you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated. I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact. Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide. appealforassistanceftxscamvictim@geyser.fund BTC : bc1q9vfmfwj6av9pxj50r6xyl652mwhqvw5ds86nw2
I remember when I was little seeing video of Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchucks, I saw the Shaolin monks run barefoot on the tips of swords. Been no booze only herb and great diet for prolly 9 years now. New meaning to firing on all cylinders brother 🙏
If it makes you happy 😊
one year no beer?
Your willpower can bring any success you want
10 years no drank, one of the best decisions I have ever made!
I’m on 8 months. I think I’ll go a full year. I began to notice a change in my brain state around the 3 month mark. Noticeably less everyday anxiety. Higher clarity of thought. More presence in the moment etc… I may never return to drinking.
I once heard that you have to be about 6 weeks alcohol free before your liver starts healing itself. I was trying to go 6 months alongside full carnivore. But I still cheat on both every now and again. Perhaps after a birthday party in a few weeks I'll swear off it until June. Maybe if I make it I'll never go back if I get the same results as you.
Wow HODL! Love this 💪 Not worth it. Even just a little.
4,577 days no alcohol.
Fantastic Jack... I'm 57 days no alcohol, and 100% carnivore. I challenge you!..🐂🤎
Same. I don’t really feel any different. Haven’t lost any weight. Maybe I just wasn’t drinking enough before. 🤷♂️
Over 21 years.
3 years in, it's the change you need in your life. Alcohol is the mind and spirit killer. After a long break you also get to drink way more responsible and enjoy a good drink instead of just pouring down a beer for company. I really feel how toxic it is when I drink more then I should, last time in holidays I had one to many and instantly regreted it I also feel sad when I now look at the highly intoxicated youth which destroy themselfs on every given occasion until they vomit it all back out. It's a real societal sickness here that needs to change. This change, I honestly believe will come automatically with a rise in collective consciousnes and we already see the beginning of it. Looking forward to the hemp revolution. (Protects against Covid, and very useful in therapies otherwise, alternative to plastic, makes soil fruitful again, clothing can be made out of it, eatable, etc etc. ) Alcohol was also used as a weapon by the sovjet communist regime against an already hungry starving population in estern europe, after they confiscate the grain and means of production they turned the superflous food, like potatoes and wheat into alcohol, rather then giving the food back to the farmers which produced it in the first place and then got starved to death
Hell yeah, I’m at like 3-4 months
how does it feel?
Nice
Same. did a month sober and carnivore. feeling pretty damn good.
Well done.
Same! Feel great.
@nostr.build 's birthday was the last time I drank anything, and the first in ... i dunno.. decades.
What are you replacing that with? Interested in your answer since I love to drink wine each day.
I hope the answer is grape juice. 🤣
Or prune juice? It’s important to evacuate the dance floor regularly.
Prune juice! I’d evacuate the entire floor! No more dance! I was just thinking of the people I know edging themselves with 0% nicotine vapes after they quit smoking. Getting as close as they can….
The “act” of smoking is still there, without the nicotine. I suppose near beer and decaf coffee would be the same?
Yeah. Both qualify as an unleaded “something.” I’d rather be nailed to a board. 🤣
Congrats! I think I did about 2 years or 3 without alcohol in anything even desserts.

💫 going on 4 mo no alcohol/no cigs.
Yeah, I’m also not drinking anymore 🫡😂
Awesome 👏
Congratulations
Sweet!
I need a drink.
Ditto ☺️👍
That's really wonderful, Jack ... was it hard for you? I gave up alcohol almost completely about 15 years or so, but still will have a glass of wine or an old fashioned once in a while. Really into teas now - my recent favorites are a black tea with blackcurrants (Eastern Shore Tea Company) and a green tea with fruits & flowers (hammam tea by Palais des Thes).
Thnx Jack for connecting the universe for a second 🫂 https://image.nostr.build/08d849b7c0249ad5b195325da3505172a0d0fb4950591d485e1a121fc97facf7.jpg
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/twitter-co-founders-fintech-company-is-laying-off-a-large-number-of-employees/articleshow/107278056.cms Not sure if it is true. It is published in the newspaper in India so just want to share
Nice Jack! How you feeling? I quit 11 years ago….best thing I ever did for myself. Btw, thanks for all the great work you’ve done in the Bitcoin space. I’m looking forward to getting my Bitkey and having a go w it.
incredible 🧡👏🏻🫂
So themes are getting sober Mr FBI theme? 🫧 @jack That’s hilarious but kinda on the deviant side of themes, Jack Don’t be an embarrassing theme
And for what themes go, people get suspicious. Gotta love somebody, be it sunshine or rainbow, Jack. Not a deviant theme, are ya, Mr Federal Theme For Cheats?!
Even the themed must make sense before people wonder. Unless going for that hope everybody forgets about me theme You soap opera
Same. Time to start dry Feb.
Angst of treason can’t be easy. 😄
Kein Alkohol ist auch keine Lösung.
Jawohl. Everything in moderation.
As a follower of Jesus, since Jesus drank wine, I'll drink wine. Since Jesus ate meat, I eat meat. Einfach.
the red fruits have things in them that increase insulin resistance the meat has fats in it that let you fuel on fats and reduce your oxidative load we are all a bit different in what we can tolerate and i personally am very sensitive to sugars and never liked them and learned recently that my addiction to fried potatoes was related to sugar and it was killing me the jesus diet is definitely all right with me :D honestly, when you add it all up for most places and most humans eating sheep and drinking a little wine is a recipe for health
10+ years no alcohol here 😃
Next year celebrating 30 years. One day at a time.
Same. 🥳
8 yrs 3 mo. best decision of my life. If you are reading this note & are struggling with this, reach out.
No worries mate, payday tomorrow.
The comments on this note give me hope. nostr:note1juen4p88ch2mjxkwchxzlh8fmmf3yry39a5nnjc7zr0d7c0pk8cq6emga7
Not a drop since last August! 🙌🏼
@jack I’m so glad to have found this amazing community! I was banned from X, so I have them to thank 🤣🤌🏽🧡⚡️ thanks for the zap brother! Congrats on freeing yourself from alcohol, it’s a great step and a massive contributor to ascending on a spiritual level. Keep on keeping on. ⚡️🙌🏼🛫
nostr:note1juen4p88ch2mjxkwchxzlh8fmmf3yry39a5nnjc7zr0d7c0pk8cq6emga7 Getting on that path myself. So much more productive without it 🫡
31 minutes here
Wow! Mother nature bless you. Do you take sea sal water as Darko protocol suggests?
Thank you, @jack. Whenever I get connected to you this way or that way, I don't know why and how but I feel a deep, submerged connection with you which uplifts me to a greater energy-field. 🧡🙏💜 After reading your tweet (and Snowden's) I joined Nostr during Christmas 2022. After you shared Darko Velcek's wordpress site, I researched him with a lot of time and then I began following his SHP protocol. I lose 5 kilo of extra eight. I feel much better. I feel blessed. 🌿🌺🌿
We generally abstain from alcohol as it is considered haram.
mad props 🫂
I will soon have my first anniversary. One of the best decisions ever!
Good for you Jack. I bet you already feel different. Proud of you Brother
Good for you Jack. I bet you already feel different. Proud of you Brother
Wow! Thank for zap! 31 days without alcohol but with satoshi! 16 of month will be my birthday but I'll continue to stay free alcohol!
Hey Jack I just sent you a ZAP cause you deserve it for your effort. Alcohol is man's worst enemy, sports is a much better activity, spend your money with your friends or lady at a gym or workouts.
....but plenty of Psilocybin 🍄
well done! ;-) I'm at 365
I absolutely love that for you 🙌🏻🫶🏻and for all of us, cos we need your brilliant mind and being fully on present here now. Personally I am not a super fan of the alcohol spirit. It tends to open one up to intruding energies. It's also highly inflammatory. Probably have a couple shots of mezcal a year these days over the last decade. I'm sorta brought back down to reality with your post here too, lol... 😅 My tendency to idealize people I respect and admire had me totally thinking @jack doesn't consume alcohol... I fully support you continuing this trend. Make it 90 days.
Small nuance for cigarette smokers, they must consume alcohol. Smoking introduces methanol into the body. The protein that normally convert alcohol to glucose will convert methanol to formaldehyde, which turns tissue into plastic, which is called Multiple Sclerosis. This partly explains the heavy smoker voice. A glass a day will not keep the doctor away, but will keep glucose converting protein busy, avoiding methanol turning into formaldehyde.
did you change your npub? I have another account that is Jack...
nope this is me

Certified time preference moment
Me trying to kick soda habit in 2007. Lasted 40+ days into the new year then decided I’d earned the right to a celebratory soda. Struggled on and off the rest of the year but got the hang of it by the end. Now happily soda free since at worst 2008. I drink water and hot water. Alcohol was never a thing. Moral of the story, grab a beer to celebrate 🍺You’ll be just fine. Congrats!
Alcohol is poison! Here’s to Dry February
45 years no heroin, also no glue sniffing!! 🤟
Way to go! Keep it up! Was it hard for you?
