Instead of composing myself and overthinking anything, I jumped in right away and wrote down all my thoughts in the order they came to me, meeting the music on Yeat’s own wavelength. Here are some unfiltered first thoughts on a beautifully unhinged album.
Tommy Lee, Pamela Anderson’s son kicked out of star-studded California country club over his behavior: report
Drunk me didn’t worry if she belonged, or said the right thing, or had to have small talk because drunk me just handled that. It may also be helpful to get to know yourself on your own, first. Spending sober time becoming familiar with your body intimately can help you better communicate your needs to someone else when you feel ready for that step. Thankfully, there have only been a few times when someone at the table hasn’t pointed it out on my behalf and adjusted accordingly. However, when it has happened, I have to speak up to point out that I didn’t drink and I’m not subsidizing their drinking.
He’s been described as a “visionary artist”
This must’ve been a huge pain in the ass for anyone trying to see the show, but it was a PR coup for Yeat, who got to talk about how turnt his fans are. On 2 Alivë, Yeat teams up with big stars like Young Thug and Gunna, and they sound like they’re visiting Yeat’s world, not vice versa. 2 Alivë works a lot better than the Yung Kayo album because of moments like that. Yeat is nowhere near a great rapper, and he doesn’t seem that interested in being a great rapper, at least by any metric that an old-ass critic like me might recognize. He understands how to use his voice, to take up space at the center of these maddening beats. 2 Alivë is way too long and way too dumb, but at its best, it finds a strangely hypnotic space.
Support Group: Navigating the non-linear treatment journey
Yeat released his new album 2 Alivë this past Friday, just two weeks after his occasional collaborator Yung Kayo released his own sonically similar debut LP DFTK. By the three-month mark in your sobriety journey, you’ll have likely gotten through the worst of your physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms and will start to experience better sleep, reduced anxiety, and other benefits of sobriety. You is yeat sober might also find yourself grieving the relationship you had with alcohol. It’s not uncommon at this stage to struggle with anger, resentment, and other complex emotions such as shame or guilt. These feelings are normal, and working through them with acceptance and self-compassion is often part of the sobriety journey. Talking with a therapist can be especially helpful for processing these feelings.
How common is relapse?
- So, it’s extra helpful to have a support network available to you when you need it.
- There’s nothing quite like a high-functioning self-aware drug addict on the mic.
- There’s no more not caring if they see your cellulite or whatever you’re hiding under there; and you will, once and for all, discover that sex is never like in the movies.
- There’s even a warped sense of maturity in Yeat’s raps when he discusses what it takes to live his lifestyle, mostly in the form of cold awareness to the rap game’s soul-sucking nature.
- “Tell Me” sort of sounds like OK Computer-era Radiohead which would be more compelling if Yeat had a better grasp on storytelling.
Acknowledging and celebrating the hard work of recovery is helpful for keeping you motivated and reminding you why you took this brave step toward sobriety in the first place. Just be sure that your rewards don’t involve drugs or alcohol. Instead, focus on things, experiences, and activities that will support your new, healthy lifestyle. Whether you are just beginning your sobriety journey, or are on your way to achieving one year of sobriety, working to create a healthier relationship with alcohol is an amazing act of self-care. One of the best steps you can take is to create a support team to help get through the lows and celebrate the highs with.
