My physical and vocal reaction to reading this very heartfelt and exposing letter was, literally:
"ew."

Disgusting, right?!
It was embarrassing to read.

Don't forget to post a followup when Stefan falls off the wagon and feels the need for another teary-eyed Facebook post. (And try not to laugh at him, okay?)
Was he drunk when he wrote that?

Ew and embarrassing sums it up. Half of what he's blathering about doesn't even have anything to do with drinking. Sounds like his own insecurities that he's blaming on booze and those insecurities are about to get a whole lot worse without it!

Oh lawdy no Dirty Deeds Lou, noooo! It was oettinger's friend that wrote that harrowing soliloquy, thank Bacchus. Cheers to that too or I'd be filing for divorce immediately.

Um, yeah, this Stefan guy sounds like a real waste of oxygen. His ramblings are strangely familiar though, as if the shit is all churned out by the same anti-saloon league bot.

If he does fall off the wagon, here's to hoping it runs over his head.

A former friend of mine posted this crap gay outburst on facebook:

Dear Everyone!
This is one of the hardest things I have ever done, but before I start, a quick thank you to everybody who congratulated me on my birthday. I am so sorry I didn’t respond, but the past weeks have been a personal hell for me. That being said, I am very grateful for all of your wishes. Thank you so much!
Here we go:
Writing this scares me so deeply that I am sitting here shaking while trying to put everything in as few sentences as possible. I write this today, because yesterday was a big day for me. After drinking for roughly 20 years straight, I have been undrunk now for exactly 2 months. Which also is exactly twice as long as I have ever managed before. I know, for most people 2 months is nothing, for me it is huge.
Writing this scares me, because opening up to people I know is already difficult for me. Opening up to here on fb to so many people I don’t know is terrifying beyond words. But this is exactly why I do this. I need to go about my life differently, because how I did is not working for me anymore.
As a person, I am very private even towards my friends and loved ones. Closed off might be the better term. Throughout my life I have erected many walls within myself, mainly to protect myself from the world and all things that would hurt me. There were reasons, of course, but those are not important now.
Over the years these walls have become a big part of my personality, so much so, that I do not really see them anymore. They are constantly there, keeping harm outside, but at the same time harming me, because they work so well that I don’t even know what is going on within myself most of the time. I am working on that now.
Learning what is going on inside myself and seeing how much harm I have done to me and the people that surround me is tough. But I also see it as the beginning of a long road to success. I am trying to change my strategy and my outlook on life. I have to, as my old ways clearly don’t work anymore and I am not sure if they ever did.
For the first time in my life giving up drinking does not feel like a chore anymore. I have been tired of it for a long time, but it still kept on being my “go to” and “feel good” drug that I couldn’t get rid of. Feeling like shit in the morning getting better by afternoon and downing a bottle of gin in the evening has been my day so many times, I can’t count it anymore.
I don’t want to be that person. The stuff is killing me and I don’t wanna die when I am 50.
I don’t want to push people away anymore because inside I am so insecure and so afraid to get hurt, I’d rather push than let someone give me a hug.
I don’t want to be stuck in the same rut day in and day out anymore. I want to go about my life differently and be able to be proud of the person I have become.
I want to change, truly, no matter how hard this is gonna be, no matter what my life will look like a month, 6 months or a year from now. Although I am a firm believer in most people’s inability to change, I will try my hardest and in my heart I know I can succeed.
I want to do this and through helping myself and opening up, maybe I can bring a little hope to someone else who suffers from similar stuff I do.
I don’t want to be depressed anymore, I will strive to be happy.
All this scares me to death. I am crying while writing this but I also feel a, relief wash over me like I have rarely felt before in my life.
I am doing this because I need to learn, to understand myself, to open up, to see where I went wrong. To learn to love myself and share this with other people so I never hurt anyone again like I have done too many times in the past.
This is me, feeling so vulnerable and openly naked like I have never felt before. And I hope by doing so, I am getting one step closer to dealing with whatever life throws at me next.
I don’t know if people are gonna laugh at me for writing this, if people will understand or simply think me an idiot. But I don’t care. This is important to me. This is ME! The me that does not want to repeat the same mistakes over and over again and the me that does not want to hurt and push away the people that care about me and love me.
The most important person in my life once told me: Trust in yourself and never stop believing, seeing and loving.
I will honor that advice, I want to believe, see and love and I will make it through the night. I hope so will you. I sincerely wish that for everyone of you out there.
Love,
Stefan
^^^^^^ This shit right here is a custom made drinking game. We can get on skype and take turns reading it out loud.

Drink once every time you hear "I".

Drink twice every time you hear "scare", "scares", ""scared", or ""scary";

Drink thrice every time you hear "anymore";

This fucking guy would be proud to know his quitting has inspired others to get cripplingly drunk.
DRINK!

I got so caught up in the gushing story I must have drunkenly overlooked that. Plus, I try not to sound like a complete degenerate who would be sipping on potion while pissing in the parking lot of an AA club.

On a random note, I tried to start a firepit this evening. Only to find I was using Coastal Live Oak, which was not a good choice. Unless you have 2 years to dry and season it (I have no idea what seasoning firewood means). I wasn't going to waste blowing a fireball of quick burning 86 proof on it. Fortunately, there is a local wood shack that peddles bundles to beachgoers and campground wildmen. I'll start with a bundle or two and see how it goes. Then move up to mixed cord portions defending on how the summer plays out. Sitting by a firepit may be the only form of entertainment since the cold glow of the television has descended into ghostly images. I should have another and log out for the morning.
