I have been going non stop for months now. Long weeks with little sleep and dreams of my daily trades. Taking to the booze. When does it stop? Or a better question... how much is enough? I ask myself every year if I am ready for a change..... take a vacation and cant wait to get back in the seat.
I'm guessing a bottle of wine a night? It's really not that hard to put down a bottle of red, especially if you spread it out from 5-11pm
I was talking to some friends and honestly felt like I was wasting my time but being there. I could of been home sleeping or learning more about my product. Wife does not mind as long as the comp comes in.
I had a bottle of Courvossier. I was mixing it with Pomegranate juice. Both are good for your heart but wow, I loved that stuff. I started drinking earlier in the day.. when the bottle ran out I didn't go get another one, I'm waiting for the addiction to die down and drinking just the juice... being health conscious will allow a certain amount of control over addictions... I get up in the morning and take some D-phenylalanine and Selegiline, that's heroin and meth at low levels with only weak addiction, and I take some L-Tryptophan, that's an SSRI at a good dang level.. after an hour I'm feeling no pain at all. I'm writing software, putting in 12-18 days with little fatigue to speak of...
Amazing how im not the only one in this camp! After the markets close I grab a 18 pack of coors light and drink till I go to bed. However during this time I also do research for my current positions and other research to prepare me for the next trading day. I also crank up the country music and watch king of the hill! For me its just a good way to relax after the trading day, everybody handles the stress of this job differently. YT
