The XRP Ledger Foundation (@XRPLF) Chief Technology Officer Denis Angell (@angell_denis) compares the @CantonNetwork, LIVE from Las Vegas.
🧵🙏About six months ago I gave up drinking completely, something I thought absolutely impossible and yet here we are.
To preface, I have zero issue if others drink, this isn’t that type of post.
Here are the things in my life that have changed and how I managed to quit:
If this helps anybody great, if not it helps me to share so please bear with me!
Things that changed:
- Stronger relationships with my wife and children
- An ability to set personal boundaries that I was incapable of setting before
- A massive amount of clarity about my surroundings
- The ability to be okay with not being okay (actually dealing with problems or emotions instead of hiding from them)
- A realization that my constant anxiety was almost entirely from alcohol, I have almost no anxiety at all now
- A realization of the things that I do still need to work on (the underlying reasons why I drank)
- Weight loss (about 20 pounds) and physical health to the point that people now comment that I look healthy and ask what I changed
- I’ve begun to and have the energy to enjoy hobbies again (reading, walking, music etc)
- I’ve become more spiritual, started going to church again and exploring relationship with God
- Realization of how many things I missed out on due to drinking (while I was drinking I actually thought if I didn’t drink I’d miss out on life)
-Countless changes I’m probably forgetting
Here’s how I did it:
I didn’t drink. Sounds crazy right?
The first day was awful, the second and third days were worse.
The entire first week was a struggle.
After the first week every week got better. After the first month the anxiety was gone. After the first 3 months drastic physical changes became noticeable. Six months in and it’s crazy looking back, I can’t believe it’s been that long.
Long story short this isn’t really even about drinking. YOU and only you have the ability to make changes in your life.
There’s normally not a magic solution, sometimes you just have to “embrace the suck” to create the new you that you want. Only you can do that.
Willpower you don’t think you have? Trust me, you have it.
If I can do it so can you. Don’t ever underestimate your ability to change your situation.
Much respect to all of you and for those of you really struggling, you always have a choice even when you think you don’t and even when the choice seems impossible.
I believe it’s always darkest before the dawn, and I believe that you have the ability to shape that new dawn. I believe you are loved even when you think you are not.
God Bless you and apologies for the long winded story. It’s okay to not be okay, just wanted everyone dealing with issues to know they are not alone.
Charles literally turns up at so many Spaces, with passion every time, some big some small, with the goal of connecting with others, sharing knowledge and explaining what is hapenning with Cardano.
Honestly, so many people fuelled with hate towards him, but seriously what other person in his position in crypto does this?
Nobody.
Keep it up @IOHK_Charles 🩵 we all notice it. Thought I'd share a positive post for all the negative ones that are consistently thrown about.
Please. @SenLummis is a #BTC Maxi. Absolutely 👉incorrect. Hon Judge Torres, Southern District of New York ruled #XRP is not a security. #XRP - in and of itself is not a security.
Bitcoin is not alone.
She is as intellectually dishonest as @SenWarren.
Throw her out too.
Politicians interfered with Science and research. Doctors will interfere with politics. Its time!!!. Where was my freedom, @KamalaHarris, when you mandated for EVERYONE to get a shot? When kids couldn’t go to college WITHOUT a SHOT? … We will never forget the trauma you put our kids through. The majority of parents are now worried about the consequences of these shots. Will they affect reproduction? Will they cause myocarditis? Will they cause cancer? Where was the freedom of kids to say no? Where was the freedom of parents to say no on behalf of their minors? Yes, Freedom in America is GONE, but not for long. We will fight this. We will never forget this time in history when they had a say in what we put in our bodies, where they decided to play doctor and influence EVERYONE to line up to take a shot that was poorly researched and contaminated. We will never forget how you called those of us who brought vaccines to market “anti-vaxers” simply for asking questions about the short and long-term effects of a NEW TECHNOLOGY. We will never forget how you stood and watched thousands of research papers get retracted because it suited your cause and your pocketbook. We will never forget how you chose the price of a stock over a human life. How everyone was on the take buying stocks for Moderna and Pfizer instead of caring for those suffering. I, for one, am disgusted with this, and to hear you quote FREEDOM is a TOTAL JOKE… Do yourself a favor and hide in your basement like you did during Covid. Some of us stood and faced the virus and saw the power of God. God will win, and you will Remember your actions during 2020 when you stood on the wrong side of history. https://t.co/tyiSnX3MSW

We are planning a pretty awesome Mystery Box sale…pretty much the entire Gala Store will be pushed into these boxes. The cool bit is that you should always get something “valued” (according to the secondary market) at or more than the price of the box.
But here is the twist…If you all think its a good idea I’m going to burn some of my nfts and remint them as Benefactor’s Xyz. And you may have a chance to get one…
Who wants Benefactors Town of the Prince? or Benefactor’s Ancient Lava Tank?

Who am I kidding? I’m only burning my town of the prince if @MirandusGame gives me something to replace it…
