That is a method which actually worked out, for years! Just now, with a child, I use a dishwasher.
One big regret: As a single, I should have bought one of those tiny dishwashers that don’t need installing and can just be filled with water on top.
Add shaving and taking out the trash and feeding, well, everything depending on me to be fed, and…
can i use hair removal cream for shaving? is it bad to leave it on for days?
Nah, it’s probably exfoliating…and moisturizing…at the same time, like 100000 other products…that’s sussy
Thankfully(?), I’ve reached a somewhat symbiotic relationship with my functional alcoholism. Drunk me does the laundry and empties the dishwasher, and sober me no longer nags drunk me for drinking so much.
functional alcoholism
bruh I hate to break it to you…
I accept that. lol
OTOH, that’s pretty much the only reason I made it through 2016-2020 with my sanity intact. Now 2025 rolls around and…ugh.
I just want to offer the perspective that maybe your sanity stayed exactly the same you just don’t look at it when drunk.

Hey, I’ve seen you posting/commenting hits here for the last year and a half, I like you sober. Sober you is cool.
Have you tried going to the meetings yet?
If it gets to the point I think I need to, I would give it a go.
This isn’t the most cliche thing I could say (it is the cliche), but I can and do stop when I want to. Every few weeks, I’ll go 2, 3, or 4 weeks without even a drop. Mostly just as a self-check to make sure I can. If I ever can’t (yet to happen), then that’s my notice that I have a real problem rather than one I joke about on the internet.
I do drink a lot and technically fall under textbook definition, but I don’t hide bottles around the office, drink during the day, or feel like I have to have a drink to get through anything.
That’s a little like saying you’ll get the brakes checked after you have an accident.
Next time you decide to stop, why not go to the meetings? They have them online, 24/7. At worst, you’ll hear some wild stories.
Podcasts, my friend. That or audiobooks. Give your brain something to do
One must imagine Sisyphus happy. 😌
I’ve found myself more often hoping for further mindless tasks because I want to keep listening to my podcasts.
I’ve got a stack of those you can take: cleaning the chicken coop, that’s 2/3 of an ep of Midnight Burger or 2 Gibi ASMRs. Friend discount, just for you.
Do nothing and stare at walls for hours, gives you a good base of nothingness to serve your podcasts on
I love music and can just listen to music without doing anything, but then I feel guilty for not doing anything with the rest of the body.
Have you tried turning your brain into a black hole of emotions so guilt at being idle can never escape? Works for me some times!
“if life is an endless cycle of dirty dishes and doing laundry, then life is an endless cycle of homecooked meals and clean clothing”
exactly.
cooked meals and clean clothes with long stretches of repeated forgetting about slimy dishes and fermenting clothes in between.
An unending cycle of saving money, too, damn it
TRUTH!
But isn’t doing laundry totally optional? Or maybe my Imaginary Friend is giving me bad suggestions again.
Absolutely optional. You can get FOUR uses from underwear if you’re smart enough.
