Temperance?

 

New Culture Movement (1915-1926) / Fu Baoshi/ Oh, Changbai Mountain!

Old friend checked into detox.  I think that this is both a marvellous event and a warning.  I have been seriously cutting back on my consumption of drugs and alcohol lately.  The past three months have been zero marijuana and no more than two (2) beers a day.  Most nights I am dry completely.

But what I have been seeing is that folks who retire tend to up their consumption rather than decrease.  Sometimes this becomes a problem.  I am as susceptible to this problem as any and will need to keep a weather eye on the issue.
