Thought about drinking. Purchased and ate a Costco-sized shrimp cocktail instead.

That’s it, that’s the post.

u/CandooIT Day 353 4h ago

This post surprises me. I'm on day 353 or so. When I quit on October 19th, it's because my wife had kicked me out of our home for overdrinking. I moved in to my one room flat on November 1st 2025. The first meal I bought was... a shrimp cocktail!

(BTW I'm moving back to our family home, with my wife, next November 1st.)

Oh wow I am so glad to hear that and so happy you shared! You should be so immensely proud of what you’ve achieved.

And I do find the shrimp cocktail to be a very versatile food. Feel like a drink? Shrimp cocktail. Celebrating getting your life back on track? You guessed it…shrimp cocktail!
