This is the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire.

Stitchheads checking in here.

Yeah.

We're talking about, I mentioned I'm watching a show a lot of cocaine use,

haven't done cocaine in a quarter century, so don't really want to do it ever again. But the fact is when you see fun parties on TV, you go, oh, that's pretty cool. And I always wonder how alcoholics used to enjoy drinking, they can anymore. Watch everything with alcohol. I am what you call a high-functioning alcoholic. That's not Todd speaking, by the way, but it could be. But it could be. And me too. I was recently forced to quit drinking due to health reasons. It sucks knowing how alcohol is everywhere. I'm finding myself telling people I will not be attending certain events because I know booze is going to be there. I'm going to different gas stations because they don't have my alcohol ready the moment

I walk through the door.

That's the sign of a high functioning alcoholic.

Right, right.

When the guy at the gas station knows what you like to drink.

I love that bit.

Especially when we talked about this a couple months back where guys, he was going to

different gas stations after work just so they wouldn't think he was a drug.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've spent time cleaning out of my house of any alcohol to prevent the temptation.

The worst part was the first week of detox.

I found myself turning your show off and listening to me.

He said, good God,

you talk about alcohol a lot. Still love you guys. Now that I'm a few weeks sober, I've come to

accept that it is impossible to avoid alcohol, and I accept that sometimes I will see, I end

to hear about it somewhere. That's what I'm thinking. You got it. You probably have to come to that

realization and make your peace with it pretty quick.
