I'm new to Bluesky and mostly here to look at pen & ink drawings and post about sobriety. If you love to draw and/or hate alcohol, I'm your guy.
I read that George Takei recently became the second user to reach one million followers here. Will I be the third?

Nope.

I just did some back of the napkin math and discovered that I've saved about $30,000 since I quit drinking eight years ago. Absolute madness!

I just published another of my "quick sobriety tips". I worry this one might sound too obvious, but I wish I had pushed myself to do it more when I first quit drinking.

Traveling from my parents' house in the US to my apartment in Spain took 22 hours this time around. I think it must have been the longest travel time of my life. A car ride, two airplanes, two buses, and a train. Anyone have me beat?

I just posted my second "quick sobriety tip" on Medium. I'm planning to post these throughout January, although I'm still not sure exactly how often. They're meant to be quick, clear, and actionable, based on the advice that helped me quit drinking eight years ago.
