For self soothing/memory erasure since Nov 2016?

And those who were in long recovery before that, how many have relapsed?

I have imaged Mueller/his team on a few significant nights with a single malt scotch (not my thing so it doesn't pull on me) enjoying their work coming to fruition. 'Normies' can stop after the one glass, and, sometimes I wish I could as well. Fizzy water with lime when the apricot hellbeast leaves.
