Congratulations on your success!! I have dealt with many people in addiction over the years -- you deserve credit and encouragement for your battle! And God bless you for helping others!
Congratulations on your anniversary of sobriety. It is not an easy path but totally worthy. Bless you for choosing it and bless you for this great substack endeavor. You have given all of us followers such good insight into the madness that is the 2000’s. Keep it up!
Josh keep speaking out and hold on tight. I think we’re entering an evil more dystopian era. Need to keep you with a clear mind to help us through the insanity.
Congratulations! As the adult child of an alcoholic who’s been sober for 30+ years, I can tell you that it’s an amazing thing to watch someone get free of addiction. Keep it up and hears to you hitting that 30 year mark. 🌻
Sometimes I'm not sure that one bad habit is worse than another, but I'm always sure that life without conventional substance 'addiction' is so much better than with it. Lord. Good on you, Joshua.
I am making a constructive habit of reading the Disaffected Newsletter, in addition to the podcast.
Congratulations, Josh! Heard in a recovery room once: S.O.B.E.R. = Son Of A Bitch, Everything’s Real. Grateful for your disaffected dispatches of reality.
To some in my SoberPunks Facebook group, that's practically a teetotaler, but yeah.. it's enough to f*ck up your life just the same. (By the way, Josh: do you know why I can't "like" comments in the comments thread?)

Congrats!!
Almost ten months sober here. Four days off nicotine. Life is better.
Congratulations to four years sober!
This is the good stuff
I was tempted to make a joke about my coffee habit, but that would just sully the issue.
I’m a till so impressed by your sobriety, as well as so much about who you are and what you do.
Keep up the good work.
Congrats! That’s great that you’ve stayed off.
congrats on your sobriety Josh!

Congrats, Josh! It takes a lot of grit and conviction to choose sobriety. You are a strong man!
When I found out you were sober, I appreciated you even more, Josh. I drank 2 bottles of wine/box equivalent for decades (aka "Mommy Juice.) (I'm 58.) I struggled with the thought of quitting for years before I finally made my first attempt in 2018 with the 30 day Alcohol Experiment. Long story short, I have had many Day 1's, but I hit my 2 years of sobriety at some point last year. I am so relieved not to open my eyes and immediately be filled with depression, "hangxiety" and self-loathing. For what it's worth, and for anyone who is sober-curious in this comment section, this is an essay I go back and read on occasion about the first year of sobriety. I love her description of that first year: "it's like a yearlong gut-punch, but somehow, in the middle of it, you are beginning to smile." https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/what-happens-when-you-give-up-drinking?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2K21GASTo0rP8KN4cgj5QXyBdJRChKchekm-3gyMuBZ5FLR7TVFV8Q_Yg_aem_AU5IwwvgIe2Eb1ZL4WkLwLTG-K6hzIXP1r_BdRtKHsBo7MXgyrvyoWoYZiB1mou-QfwSGpuJ2JCt7uJ0dqd--vft
Same Susan, two bottles a wine a night or equivalent.

No, I do not know why. Sorry!
No worries, it's no biggie.
