    this is so my life it’s not funny. i’ve even quit binge-drinking without realising it.

    i can’t afford 5-atar treatment anymore but i wake up every morning so much more at peace which, one can argue, is the best luxury of all.

    Pretty good message, well delivered. 3rd panel thought bubble for something that should be yelled bugs me. Distinct art style that helps encourage my inner artist. Nicely done.

    I love this comic, because “never quit / never surrender” is one of the godamn stoopidest phrases in our culture.

    How about: “Take a break, re-tool, gather yourself, ask yourself if this is what you really want, and if so, can our methodology and stress-relief be improved? Well then, well then!”

      Red Shirt confidently declares an absolute and is then upset to be contradicted. Maybe he has autism.

      I’m sure when people say “quitters never win” they aren’t talking about quitting smoking, drinking, or other substances. But that’s the exact kind of rhetoric that people will use to justify staying in a toxic relationship or job.

      We could all probably benefit from quitting more, because when when you quit the things that don’t matter, it leaves room for the things that do.

      Anyway to sum up, if anybody has autism here, it’s probably me.

        I did not make this comment with ableist intentions but I now see how it can be viewed that way. I never educated myself on the disorders like the one I mentioned. That’s on me. After seeing how people reacted to my comment I took a step back did some thinking. To cut it short, I have now grabbed a book on autuism and will educate myself. I’m sorry if I offended anyone.

        My comment originated from my real life experiences where I felt annoyed by people twisting or misunderstanding my words to say something irrelevant. Seeing this comic made me remember those and caused me to comment without thinking. Again, I apologize from all of you.
