This isnโt easy for me to share but today marks 15 days sober for me. ๐
The weekend before last, I had an alcohol withdrawal-induced seizure, my 4th in 20 months. I was lucky enough to have had it in my bed and not at the top of some steps or at the edge of a DART trainโฆ (1/7)
Got my haircut this evening. Wish I had asked for a no. 2 on the sides & back instead of a no. 3 but at least now I know for next time. Also my fringe is much more manageable now. ๐
Gotta love the light my bedroom gets this time of day! Apols for how dirty the mirror is. It almost sort of looks as if Iโm crying tears made of c*mโฆ ๐ฆ

Itโs still a thing bc pretty much every out gay person still receives homophobia. And is terrified to so much as even hold their same-sex partnerโs hand while walking down the street for fear of retribution. So donโt you think youโre overreacting to seeing a few rainbows in June?
โฆknow whatโs next for me. But whatever it is, and even if itโll be hard at times, I have no doubt in my mind that Iโm doing the best thing thatโll ensure both my happiness and that of those around me. ๐
Thanks for reading this far! Love yโall! (7/7)
To those commenting that โthere must be more to the story,โ your homophobia is showing and donโt deny it and think that it isnโt. Nothing justifies being encircled and attacked by a group of boys like this.

The vertical parts add stiffness and strength to the structure so it can span longer distances. And concrete costs & weighs a lot (in which case, needing a stronger support) so it makes it more efficient to use less material. Think of it like a box steel section basically. :)
Not unhappy with my body progress of late but I wouldnโt mind some pecs, of which are a type of muscle that I have always seemed incapable of building.. or even toning and defining. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Just got home from my family birthday dinner. Fun night at one of my favourite restaurants in Dublin! ๐ But now Iโm so absolutely knackered that I really must be getting old. ๐ Gโnight yโall! ๐ด
STORY TIME: Before I went to the CK store, I went to Harvey Nics. I asked this saleswoman where I could find menโs underwear and she said, โMark will show you.โ Which he did. At this point, I should probably point out that Mark was very cute and charming and, like most (1/5)

Omg yes! *This* has been such a pet peeve of mineโ the way that they are so often currently prepared is so impractical, makes a giant mess and ruins the original composition of the burger.
โฆreally nice about it & I said, โtotally cool! Just figured Iโd ask. Thanks again for your help today.โ
For context, this is something I never do sober or outside of the gay scene. I didnโt know whether to feel embarrassed or proud for putting myself out there. THE END. (5/5)

I just knew that you were gonna respond with โI know some gay people.โ Just bc thereโs some gay fella who sits near you in the office who you small talk with in the kitchen, doesnโt mean you understand our experiences.
โฆLifeRingโ similar to AA but without the putting-faith-in-a-higher-power religious/spiritual aspect, which is one of the major factors thatโs put me off of AA to begin with. So if you feel like you need help but AA doesnโt appeal to you, Iโd highly recommend LifeRing. (4/7)
โฆMy experience with alcohol addiction over the past few years has led me to some of the darkest years of my life. But since Iโve gotten soberโ and I knowโฆ itโs only been 2 weeksโ Iโm beginning to value life in a way that I havenโt in quite some time! (5/7)
@Coll3enG
Maybe he means how embarrassing for him after saying โis this youโ bc no, Matt, another hinge couple did not have this exact conversation at exactly the same time!
โฆI could quite easily talk about this for ages. BUT, if anyone wants to have a discreet conversation, please, please, please donโt hesitate to DM me.
I feel much more myself, more confident and comfortable in my own skin. Not saying that itโs easy. And I still donโtโฆ (6/7)
โฆmedically-supervised detox, including consultations with an addiction-specialised psychiatrist. The truth is that Iโve been battling alcohol addiction for 2 to 2.5 [maybe even 3] years now.

Retweeting this because why not and itโs also my favourite non-binary argument of all time.

Just 15 minutes later, I was in the back of an ambulance headed towards St Vincentโs Hospital.
I was also lucky enough to have an Emergency Department doctor who set me up in St Vincentโs โAcute Medical Wardโ (AMW) so that I could have a six-dayโฆ (2/7)
Iโm quite jealous of peeps who have names that allow them to turn their Twitter display name into a seasonal pun. What the feck can you do with โGareth?โ ๐๐ป
Please ignore the sulphur skincare mask but I would very much like my pre-pandemic body backโ the one that I didnโt appreciate enough at the time.

Often, theyโre multi-purposed as such. To carry drainage pipes to collect rainwater from the road, for example. If they were to carry cars or trains, the gravity loads would be much heavier and it would kind of defeat the purpose.
Just made a late-night snacks trip to Spar and hot-Spar-guy was working. Flirting with him & him flirting back is *sooooo* much fun BUT Iโm still too nervous to message him on Grindrโฆ ๐คทโโ๏ธ
So often I see another guyโs abs & think, โI want to look like that.โ But you canโtโ bc each body is different.
BUT I can at least aspire to look like I did a few years ago. So my goal is to tone my stomach to be similar to this photo and then appreciate it like I didnโt then.

He probably took his jacket off or something and then wrote this tweet for likes and to make the gays thirsty. Letโs be honest.
Feel guilty this afternoon bc, after 2 months of moaning about it being too cold to go sea swimming, today was just about warm enough. And when I went down to Seapoint to feel the temp of the water (which was fine btw), there were plenty of swimmers there. But I just cba today.๐คฆโโ๏ธ

No offence but any future potential flatmate of yours should have the right to be shown this tweet so that they know what theyโre possibly getting themselves into?
Ngl Iโm not hating my post-shower hair style tonight. Shame itโs a very out of date look and kinda has wig vibes. (Itโs not a wig though hahaha).
Found a long-sleeve t that belonged to my dad from over a decade ago and Iโm kinda not hating the colour and fit. Not to mention the nostalgic & sentimental value. โค๏ธ
Thank you all so much for the kind replies, DMs and support in general! I often look to them for moral support! ๐
Iโm sorry if I havenโt responded to lots of you yetโ I first just wanted to focus on those who are in similar circs and need someone to talk to. Love to you all! ๐
