#20:断酒11日目のリアル。「マイナスをなくした先」で出会った、シラフという名の新境地

■ 日本語紹介文5月の第4週。ランチ営業を終えたあと、今週4回目となるジムで汗を流し、この記念すべき第20回目のポッドキャストを収録しています。今回のメインテーマは、有言実行で続いている「断酒11日目」のリアルな手応え。だらだら飲む生活を終わらせるために、私自身が本を読み、データをつけ、かつて禁煙を成功させたときと同じように「論理的」にアルコールと距離を置いたことで、驚くほど健康的なサイクルが回り始めました。しかし、ノイズを完全に削ぎ落とした先で、ある面白い「戸惑い」に直面します。それは、体調が良すぎて日中のエネルギーを「持て余してしまう」という感覚。Podcast『超流通』で語られていた、アリストテレス的（能力の最大化）価値観と、仏教的（苦しみのない無の境地）価値観のギャップを交えながら、このシラフという名の「新境地」で、これからどうアクセルを踏み込んでいくのか。現在進行形の実験をお話しします。後半のお野菜レシピは、今畑でたくさん獲れている「新じゃがいものガレット」。味付けは塩だけ、じゃがいものポテンシャルを最大に引き出す、外はカリカリ・中はモチモチのプロの引き算レシピをお届けします。（英語要約は以下をご覧ください👇）■ English Summary Title: Day 11 of Sobriety: Stepping into the "New Territory" of a Clear MindHi everyone, I’m Yoshifumi Sarukawa from Hashiru Oyasai. Today is Friday, May 22nd. I’m recording this 20th milestone episode after my fourth gym session of the week. Alongside my routine of morning walks and jumping rope, prioritizing my physical health has been a central theme this May.More importantly, today marks my 11th day of sobriety. Inspired by Haruki Murakami’s famous insight—“To smoke while running is a contradiction in terms”—I realized that drinking heavily while trying to optimize my health was equally contradictory. By viewing alcohol through a scientific lens as a substance to be managed, I’ve successfully established a healthy distance from it, leading to highly energized mornings at 4:05 AM.However, I’ve encountered an unexpected feeling: a strange sense of having too much downtime during the day. In the past, I used the energy needed to overcome a mild hangover as a driving force to jumpstart my day. Now that my body is consistently in an "I’m ready" state, I occasionally feel like I have energy left over.This reminds me of a concept discussed on a recent podcast: the Western (Aristotelian) view of maximizing potential versus the Eastern (Buddhist) view of eliminating noise. My recent decisions—deleting Instagram and quitting alcohol—fall into the Buddhist category of eliminating negative noise. Now that the noise is gone, my next challenge is to shift into an Aristotelian focus: learning how to apply this pure concentration to my deep work and business growth.Finally, today’s recipe features fresh potatoes harvested straight from our field: a crispy Potato Galette with a generous layer of melting cheese, finished with butter. It’s incredibly simple, yet captures the rich flavor of the potatoes perfectly.
