I don't participate in Lent, however I have been trying to cut back on my drinking. When I had to take antibiotics for 10 days that prevented me from having any alcohol at all, I realized how dependent I was on drinking. Cutting down to drinking on the weekends for now. Best of luck with your Lent plans!

That’s cool! I haven’t had a drink in 3 years. One night I went out with a friend and we had some drinks...then I came home and ordered McDonald’s ate that and woke up the next day and felt gross and just never had a drink after that. Idk if that’ll be forever or not, but I do believe it’s good to have clarity so I hope it goes really really well for you. It can definitely be rough if there have been things that you’ve suppressed that’s actually what any substance will do and when you stop it’ll bubble up, but don’t be afraid it’ll be okay.

And thanks! I’m supposed to go up to see my mom the second week of April and the city has really good food I’m looking forward to ordering so hopefully I can just continue on with my self control until then.

I can imagine it now :

(Pass-words wakes up in her underwear,with the mother of all headaches ,next to her friend on bed.Friend has a look of horror,shame and guilt on her face).

Pass_words : Oh my god....No.Don't tell me I...

(Friend nods at her mortified but stays silent out of shock).

(Pass_words bursts to tears).

Pass_words : OMG...I can not believe I did that...This wasn't me I swear...I can not believe I did that! I feel so disgusted with myself...How could I eat all that shitty food !!! I am contacting AAs asap!

Lol no my friend went home way before I ordered McDonald’s. And I didn’t feel gross because I ate McDonald’s I felt gross for how the McDonald’s was digesting (or not so much digesting) in my body 😂😂😂 I do think you’re right though...I think may have cried a little.

Lol with the meat thing for Lent...I’m an Episcopalian not Catholic so I just basically give up something for 40 days and reflect...idk maybe I’m doing it wrong LOL at least no one can say I didn’t try. I also love meat...more than a lion-werewolf-bear.

I was raised as a Greek Christian Orthodox but I am an atheist since my teens. I had a fanatically religious grandmother though who constantly guilt tripped me for breaking lent.

Meat is love,meat is life.

Have you ever eaten a whole rotisserie chicken in one sitting?

No...But I have consumed 1 kgr of pansetta*...In fact I am now cooking pansetta in 3 in the morning,because our conversation made me crave meat.

That sounds delicious..is that like bacon?

I didn’t go home for Christmas this year and roasted 4lb prime rib roast... I finished it in almost 2 days. Merry Christmas to me...it really made up for how much Wonder Woman 1984 sucked LOL.

What we call pansette in Greece is a litle different than what they called pansette in Italy.It is pork belly cut in strips but it does not have any skin on and it is not cured in any way.It can be cooked in various ways but I prefer to soak it in a really aromatic marinade for at least two days,then boil it until soft and then fry it with butter.

LOL. In Christmas I decided to take a break from my carnivore ways and cooked handmade (by me) fresh pasta. But in New Years I had pork belly with a mushroom risotto.

I eat meat almost every day.If I am too bored to cook,there is always souvlakia... 8 at least. In one sitting.

Wow that sounds so fucking good. My mom makes handmade pasta and ravioli.

For New Years I ate pepperoni pizza (the whole thing) in bed. Lol

Also I ate the whole pizza.

😂

PS.I could never hold lent as I am an avid carnivore. I mean werewolves eat less meat than I do.

Yes. Masturbation (please don't laugh at me, lol) and social media.
