The lighter side of ADHD

Thankfully(?), I've reached a somewhat symbiotic relationship with my functional alcoholism. Drunk me does the laundry and empties the dishwasher, and sober me no longer nags drunk me for drinking so much.
functional alcoholism
bruh I hate to break it to you...
I accept that. lol
OTOH, that's pretty much the only reason I made it through 2016-2020 with my sanity intact. Now 2025 rolls around and....ugh.
I just want to offer the perspective that maybe your sanity stayed exactly the same you just don't look at it when drunk.

Have you tried going to the meetings yet?
If it gets to the point I think I need to, I would give it a go.
This isn't the most cliche thing I could say (it is the cliche), but I can and do stop when I want to. Every few weeks, I'll go 2, 3, or 4 weeks without even a drop. Mostly just as a self-check to make sure I can. If I ever can't (yet to happen), then that's my notice that I have a real problem rather than one I joke about on the internet.
I do drink a lot and technically fall under textbook definition, but I don't hide bottles around the office, drink during the day, or feel like I have to have a drink to get through anything.
That's a little like saying you'll get the brakes checked after you have an accident.
Next time you decide to stop, why not go to the meetings? They have them online, 24/7. At worst, you'll hear some wild stories.
You’re using the same flawed logic I to to tell me I’ve got no real problem.
However I spin it though, the booze really inhibits my happiness in a bunch of ways.
If you quit again, even for just a few weeks, and need an accountability buddy, hit me up.
Add shaving and taking out the trash and feeding, well, everything depending on me to be fed, and....
can i use hair removal cream for shaving? is it bad to leave it on for days?
I have never thought that in my adult life I'd relate to muggy from New Vegas this much.
I actually don’t mind doing the dishes, don’t know why. I actually like it more than doing the dishwasher but it takes too long
TRUTH!
But isn't doing laundry totally optional? Or maybe my Imaginary Friend is giving me bad suggestions again.
Absolutely optional. You can get FOUR uses from underwear if you're smart enough.

I Kind of dribbled this by using the same plate/knive for the week and then I only have to do dishes once a week. But I also usually only eat bread at home, since I usually eat lunch at university.
I usually only do laundry every two weeks which isn't that bad.
That is a method which actually worked out, for years! Just now, with a child, I use a dishwasher.
One big regret: As a single, I should have bought one of those tiny dishwashers that don't need installing and can just be filled with water on top.
