  • Also the recipe. So the protein is bacon. Few healthy eating awards for this one. Cook and drain the bacon then add diced onion and bell pepper (5 mins cooking each). Cook until the onion is translucent and then add the beans and 2-4 cloves of garlic depending on taste. Make sure to rinse and drain all the canned item contents except for tomatoes (28.5 oz). I would use Pintos and Chickpeas as beans (16.5 Oz) but we all have preferences. There’s going to be a decent amount of salt and fat from the bacon so I would cut the tomato paste to 2 tablespoons. Seasoning is going to be 1 Tbsp Chili Powder, 1/2 Tbsp Oregano, 1/4 TEASPOON of Cumin.















  • As someone with years of sobriety now, here’s some truth: There’s a lag in results to your efforts in this world. The 6 months before and you getting sober are you at your worst by their very nature and that’s what your employer lived with. The 6 months navigating new sobriety are very difficult and you change A LOT without realizing it. Oftentimes this changes relationships resulting in them ending.

    You sound like you’re well aware that if you pick up that bottle you may not get the chance to put it down again so I’ll leave that alone. There is not a single thing alcohol cannot make worse with time. Even the relief you get from taking it is temporary being replaced with a longing and existential dread while you wait for the next opportunity.
