Drinking isn’t just a habit…
It’s a default action you lean on when you’re bored, stressed, or avoiding something deeper.
And it’s not just about the drinks—it’s about what’s behind them:
• Overdrinking isn’t “just a bad habit”—it’s gluttony in a different form.
• It’s wrecking your health, your relationships, and your purpose.
• And yeah, it’s dishonoring God.
You know it. I know it. So let’s stop pretending it’s “no big deal.”
So if you want to stop relying on alcohol…
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Own It and Repent
Stop saying, “I just can’t say no.” That’s a lie.
You can say no, but first, you need to admit this isn’t just a bad habit—it’s sin.
Own it. Confess it. Commit to change.
2. Replace the Habit
Next time you reach for a drink, ask yourself: “What am I avoiding right now?”
Instead of drinking:
• Pray
• Hit the gym
• Go for a walk
Do something that moves you forward, not backward.
3. Get Around Better People
If your circle makes drinking a lifestyle, it’s time to rethink that circle.
“Don’t join those who drink too much wine…” (Prov. 23:20).
Find people who challenge you to be better, not drag you down.
4. Focus on What Really Matters
Drinking isn’t just hurting you—it’s impacting your family, your kids, your future.
God has something bigger for you.
Don’t let alcohol hold you back from stepping into it.
5. Stand Up for Your Convictions
You don’t need to fake a soda water with lime.
Just say no.
Be the guy who can stand firm without worrying about what people think.
Look, I get it—this isn’t easy.
But the easy road isn’t what Christians are called to.
You weren’t made to live in bondage to alcohol, food, or anything else. Break the chains.
Take the first step today.

Why did LBRY do a pre-mine of their own currency? IMO that’s where they set themselves up for failure.
From the start I wondered why they didn’t just try to build on an existing decentralized crypto, rather than build a new coin.

@juan_i_ibanez@MarkLundeberg@SimpleLedger Just skimmed your paper, very interesting. This is the type of systems I have been chomping at the bit to start working on.
Thanks to the minds of Jonald Fyookball and @MarkLundeberg, the design of @SimpleLedger resulted in a decentralized, immutable Triple-Entry accounting system that is very simple and also minimizes cost to its users.
I'm truly thankful to have been apart of its construction.
