Huck, I hope you weren't expecting encouragement from this crowd.. get yourself to an AA meeting. It does work!
You don't think "Hang in there" is encouragement? How about "eat a candy bar and take a nap" or "easy does it" or "first things first" or ...

Wait a minute, what? Oh. I see.

"What does 'Cack-handed' mean? ... The direct association is with cack, another fine Old English term, for excrement or dung."

Sorry, never mind.

He's only five days sober. He's probably lucky he could type that much, and if he's as clear-headed as I was at that stage it could mean "I've done the laundry" or "How's the price of eggs in Mongolia" or "I think something in my fridge is alive" or "Phlabby rocks!" but probably he's expressing delight in discovering that there truly are things worse than death. Luckily, this too shall pass.



PS -- You really are up on his slang, btw 😉

A hackneyed motto, but always true is, "The only drink you need to refuse is the next one". On a serious note, I was a wine addict for 27 years, and I would sit and drink 3 litres of chateau cardboard in an evening alone or in company. I would fall asleep sitting in a chair with a full glass in my hand, and wake up without having spilled a drop, and carry on drinking. I would drink wine from a pint beer handle, or any other container available. I would start drinking at any time of day or night, and never a day would pass without drinking. When it comes to facing the mountain of giving up drink, if I may wax scriptural, I am "touched with the feeling of the people's infirmity" I have been to the mountain. The good news is, when I found occasion to put booze behind me forever, the only hard part was making the decision to do it. I walked away from the stuff and never looked back, no shakes, no withdrawal symptoms, no regrets and no temptation. That was about 5 years ago and never for one moment have I missed the wine. Every word I have just written is true, I have no axe to grind and no gospel to preach, just wanted to tell anyone who is ready to hear, that it doesn't have to be an agonising journey.
Please feel free to launch an orgy of denigration and unbelief if the feeling should take you.

Impotence

Causes

Lifestyle: alcohol and drugs, obesity, cigarette smoking (Incidence of impotence is approximately 85 percent higher in male smokers compared to non-smokers[7]. Smoking is a key cause of erectile dysfunction.[8][9] Smoking causes impotence because it promotes arterial narrowing.[10] See also Tobacco and health. )
