re: 35 days sober(alcohol). Longest I've been sober in 35 years. The benefits are obvious...

By what you stated you weren’t an alcoholic by my sense of the definition.
This is like saying I’m gonna stop listening to opera. But hey, you do you and here’s your pat on the back you’re looking for.
Thanks. I was looking for advice and maybe a few encouraging words, not a pat in the back, prick.

If you're referring to me, I had a lot more than 2-3 drinks. Probably averaged 18 beers and 4-5 bourbons per week over a two day period. I never said I was a full blown alcoholic, but it seemed to consume my mind and it became exhausting.

Congratulations. I can't imagine trying to function with that amount of drinking. I pray that this brings my closer to God, my family and sober friends.

I said a prayer for you today.
Thank you, sir.

Losing 6 pounds means you created a calorie deficit of 21,000 calories over 35 days which at least 30 bottles of wine. How much were you drinking on your “once or twice a week”? What do you consider binge drinking?
I don't eat after 6pm, don't eat breakfast and watch my carb intake the rest of the day.
I was drinking a six pack of IPAs and a bourbon or two for my midweek. On the weekend binge it would be 10-12 IPS and a few bourbons.

Advice? I’m about to ask you for advice.
I’m not one of those crazy drinkers, the bottle a day first thing the morning type. More the “just a couple glasses of wine” most nights.
Sunday - evening couple/few.
M- 0
Tues - 0
Wed - maybe. 50/50 for a couple.
Thurs - maybe 50/50 for a couple.
Fri- until feeling right. Not drunk, stupid or sick, just relaxed, like right now is a good example.
Sat - same as Fri maybe a little more right.
That's kinda been me, but I would have just enough mid week to not want any till the weekend then shite faced one weekend night. My body would tell me no more for a few days but my mind was always looking forward to the next time I drink. Either time I always felt like crap the next day.
One thing I left off is that I always put off household projects like cleaning the garage, building shelves, cutting the grass, painting....until I was I knew I was going to want to drink. That is exhausting. These last few weeks have been completely different in that I just to those things without thought.
Thanks again.

Lost 6 lbs
More energy
Consistent sleep
Clarity
Less irritable
More patient
Better bowel movements
Any other benefits I can look forward to?
I've been a once or twice a week drinker for probably 35 years... binge drink a few times a month maybe.
I suppose I'm just tired of thinking about the next time I'm going to drink and want to think about, and look forward, other things.
Any advice is appreciated?

Again, unless they are tried outside of the D.C., Virginia, Maryland area there won't be any convictions.
It's all fake. Many YouTube videos describe his tricks and expose him as a fraud.

The people love Slick Willie, but the people hate Hillary....and she knows it.
Will these future criminal case have to be adjudicated in D.C.? Is so, there will be no convictions
So, they are saying the latest winter sunrise in Crossville, TN. will be the same time as west TX? I don't think so.

That's a very good analysis.

Lee will never get the credit he deserves for navigating TN. through a very difficult 8 years. I think Lee was second to Desantis in leadership of their state.

I clearly stated why I don't like her in my post. And no, she's not right wing, she's an opportunist. Listen to her speak and she just sounds like she's repeating the same thing over and over with no passion or original thought.
