Life Stuff Update (Patreon)

Whatsup, everybody? I didn't write up a monthly newsletter for March as I was very busy. And I will fill you guys in on the upcoming content in a separate post.

But also I think it'd be good to discuss some current life stuff if you are curious about that and some of my recent posts on YouTube and Twitter about addiction.

Is Act Man gay for nicotine and alcohol?

I hope the framing of that question doesn't actually offend anyone, but I like to use humor to help alleviate the stress of discussing difficult things. The long and short of it is that I function as a human pretty well despite these addictions that I feel are holding me back in life. I'm still living a great life, but I deal with A LOT of unnecessary stress and anxiety around my job and sustaining it.

Make poor life choice = Get Stressed = Avoids working = more stress.

I don't get blackout drunk at all or anything like that, but I do drink a lot more than one person should, especially by themselves. Basically, I'll be taking a short break from being online.

But not right away. My plan is to post 2 videos on each channel before I take time off. I'll talk about those videos later. I find that I indulge in bad behavior a lot more often when I am sitting at this very computer faced with a never-ending mountain of work and 'things I should be doing'

This job of mine always has a thousand things going on at all times, Patreon is one of them and I regret not putting more time into the people that support me through here. I'd just like to say that your support is APPRECIATED even if I don't mention it all the time. 

I would like to write an appreciation post for you guys or mention it in more videos. Anyways, my gameplan to quit nicotine and drink less is to replace time at my computer and do "life stuff" like working out everyday, walking coco, visiting friends and family, fixing my house, buying a new house, etc.

I've also considered doing Workout Streams on Twitch, but I'll need to figure out the logistics of that. 

I feel like nicotine especially (vaping for me) really fucks with my brain and ability to focus and work. Evident by my lack of consistency interacting on Patreon. I do like to check in when I can so thank you for your patience and understanding. 

After these next 3-4 videos are posted, I should have more details about the time frame I'll be away from work on and make sure discord, patreon, etc can run for a week or two without me. 

So that's just a brief update on all that life stuff. I appreciate all of you and your support over the years. I have such an awesome community and circle of friends that I am very proud of. It'll be nice to work on Kelly Van Achte instead of The Act Man all the time.
