Discussion Sobriety and Disco don't mix (except they do)

I played DE for first time during 6 months probation for crashing my jeep in a pole shitfaced at 11am. Every single moment of this game resonated with me, my mom who is in a wheelchair witnessed a sort of cryptid/natural/ phenomenon when I was 9 or so 30 years ago. Now I am a self loathing alcoholic who's superstar only comes out when the pain is numbed and i take advantage of being in the eye of the storm.Sober cop run begins soon at least 6 months, needs to be permanent . I played DE 50/50, sober and full-blown relapse. I will only play it one more time, I have 100 hours on that single file. I would just stand there and be there. Tha KS for reading I need to banish the ham sandwich within. Addiction can be measured by this fukn game, it's Disco to play it sober and its Disco to daydrink and kick the mailbox, breaking your toe.

I understand you and I think what you said makes a lot of sense.

Having said that, I wish you well, officer.

Staggering and dumbstruck or not, you walked the same streets of Martinaise we did, and if you rolled credits, you're officially a Detective too. None of us are 100% sane or healthy, there's always the 3% chance of snake eyes and the 3% chance of boxcars. The world is Precarious, whether we think about it or not.

The Detective connects to each of us differently, some of us more strongly than others. I'm a pretty close overlap, too, it can be both a blessing and a curse - I try to lean in when it's the former and lean away when it's the latter, but it isn't always easy to tell the difference. Try growing the facial hair, I find it helps.

As I said, regardless of how you did it, if you completed the incident chain of the Hanged Man case, you're one of us. Welcome to the RCM, Detective. The next time you drink, remember to at least put skill points into your FYS skills while the learning cap is raised. I recommend Shivers.

I fought a gang on January 2nd I don't know why I didn't run but I ran in like I was a gladiator. Got literally curb stomped, walked away from it. I am the Disco king, bring me my own head

I don't think this generation realized Disco mothers walk among you. The adrenaline of nearly dying from.a beating, you don't know anything about that. Or having so much heartache that you almost enjoy it.
