I really liked this comic and the quote by Jung. It's relevant to me too in terms of how I go about my life work-fun-obligations. This morning/afternoon metaphor really speaks to me! And as always your drawings are so alive and fun!
Thanks Katerina! I was really excited when I found that quote, it spoke to me tons too, and has really helped! Work-fun-obligations are a juggle forever, I imagine!
Funny, insightful and as thought provoking as ever! This resonated the first time and it STILL resonates. But.... I’m in the wilds of Donegal and the Guinness is calling. Maybe I’ll try the new alco free one? Third time could be the charm!
Always proud of you Tor, impressed that you’ve been sober for a whole year & that you had the self knowledge you needed to stop drinking. Love as ever lynne xx
This is SO great, thankyou for sharing (again). Gonna give that podcast (and perhaps book) a go. Similarly, no big DRAMATIC MUSIC moments for me, but yeah the afternoon SHOULD be different to the afternoon eh?! Just for the sake of something new if nothing else! Plus non alchie beers are genuinely great now… Guinness? Winner. Best to ya.
Thank you Luke! Yes I think there's a strong idea that one has to have the drama before being "allowed" to stop - but really that's not helpful! And yes to the new non-alc beers - Lucky Saint have opened a pub in Marylebone too, I haven't tried it yet but it's on my list!
Congratulations! I loved reading this - so human and to the point. I also had to give up alcohol 2 yrs ago (on medical grounds) but often find myself being missog about it. So it’s lovely to hear you being so positive! I’m going to keep looking back at this! Thank you!
Thank you Lucy, and I'm so glad if it was helpful. I know reading has helped me SO much throughout. I do feel very positive about it - there are things I miss, for me alcohol did enable some fun times. But the balance is totally worth it, and I feel really grateful to have come to this place and escaped, when I might not have done!
Well done and so true! I quit nearly 40 years ago...no regrets and a great life!
That's great to hear!
I wish I could give this more than one ‘like’!
Thank you Helen!
Gorgeous and insightful, as always.
Thank you!
Love this Tor

Thanks Jackie! That's so nice. Haha, what did you decide?? I haven't tried the alco free Guinness, but the wilds of Donegal are now calling me!!

I have such a hard time summing up my own thinking about this subject, but you’ve done it beautifully with words and pictures!
Thank you! It is difficult, isn't it!

THIS. Everything about this. The humanity. The truth, Genuine. Love it!
Thank you Dan!
I love this comic Tor, and I’m so so proud and impressed that you’ve done a whole year. I’m raising a non alcoholic beer to you! 🏅💪😎
