    Ice cubes not uniform size. Try again tomorrow!

  2. Not even a lime in there. Its just depressing if you cant brighten it up with some plating (glassing? Idk what the synonym would be)

    Trying to blackmail me into loving you- what are you, my ex-wife?

    you’re worthy of love and so is your liver

    Kristen Neff has put out a lot of stuff on self compassion

    I prefer Chris Germer I’m reading one of his books (yay libraries) and he has audiobooks as well (also, yay libraries)

    here are some of his meditations

    I’m sure you know about aa already

    if you are looking for secular alternatives https://www.reddit.com/r/SMARTRecovery/ might be worth checking out

    I haven’t read this book yet but here’s an excerpt from an interview with Dr Devon Price about value

    >”I think animals help us remember that we shouldn’t have to earn our right to exist. We’re fine and beautiful and completely lovable when we’re just sitting on the couch just breathing. And if we can feel that way about animals that we love and about, you know, relatives that we love, people in our lives who we never judged by their productive capacity, then we can start thinking of ourselves that way, too.”

    your library might have that one too. if not, they usually have ways to request books

    be safe!

    edit: the last book is “laziness does not exist” by Devon Price

  5. Enjoy your gin and tonics, chef. see you tomorrow

    Ok ok ok it’s enough for today, get your 9 ready for tomorrow

    Just want to throw my love out to this sub which is wildly active at 1 am PST on a Wednesday morning. My east coast homies here are still going strong at 4.

  8. Positron100

    Less tonic, more gin, what is this? Preschool? Also give me some color in there, maybe some red berries? See you tomorrow

  9. So 9 gins, sleep on those rubber floor matts next to the pilot light for warmth, and then tmrw you open right?

  10. SSFlyingKiwi

    Not a 70:30 mix. See you in the morning chef

    Have at it. But you have to drink the cheap gin.

    I’ll help you out, chef. you want either a balloon glass with 3 perfectly cubed icecubes, or a tall, straight highball glass with a tall block of ice in there. if you can’t get that, stack a few icecubes in the glass. now you don’t want anything flavoured here. we’re not here to fuck around, we’re here to make a gin and fucking tonic. if you can spare money for fancy, that’s nice, but gordons or tanqueray will do you just fine. the ratio you’re looking for is around 1:2, depending on the strength of your gin. something 80 proof or lower, go about 50ml of gin to 100ml of your tonic water. higher strength gin, splash a little more tonic in. now, don’t listen to anybody telling you to put lime in there. just cause it’s “traditional” doesn’t make it good. back when the victorians invented gin and tonics, people were still shitting in pots and throwing it out a window. you want to cut off a good, thick strip of lemon peel, and twist it over your drink to express those oils all good up in there. throw the peel in, throw it away, doesn’t matter, your g&t is ready. but remember: never, EVER drink that shit through a straw.

    I true front of house fashion. I can fix you. 😅

    Needs just a drop of angostura and a slim wedge of lime.
    Next time.

    But that’s the cocktail.

    You?

    You are enough just the way you are. You are loved and lovable. Have room for improvement in your own eyes? Healthier diet maybe, some recreational fitness outdoors, better sleep schedule? Work on it, just a little at a time. There is no deadline, there is no test at the end. Do you, baby. You’ve got this.

    Hold on, grabbing a glass. I’m REALLY good at this one.

  16. Your mom called and said you’re not worthy yet

  17. daaaaamntam

    You’re worthy of love just like that G&T is worthy of a goddamn lime you heartless bastard

  18. OutlawedThyme

    What is this M*A*S*H, your finest swill of rotgut? See you tomorrow chef

  19. Revolvlover

    OP is worthy of the loving touch of good gin, at least. I like Hendricks + Fever Tree elderberry for my anesthesia.

  20. MadMaverick033

    Please tell me it’s at least a good gin and not, like, fucking Gordon’s.

    Everyone is worthy of love, including you, but you’ll probably find more of it in the world if you drink a bit less
