When you're a productive person, when you've got a lot on your plate, you don't have time to be groggy or unfocused just because you had a couple of drinks the night before. Cheers Restore After Alcohol Aid helps you have better mornings after drinking. You take it after your last drink or before bed and then it works while you sleep. Their claim to fame is that you will feel 50% better or your money back.
A lot of people think that dehydration is why you feel bad in the morning, but the real reason is what happens in your brain and liver while you sleep. When alcohol leaves your system, your brain goes into rebound mode and that's what makes you feel bad. And the DHM in Cheers works while you sleep to smooth out that rebound. And at the same time, the alcohol converts into a toxic by-product that your liver has to clear out and the cysteine in Cheers helps speed that up.
Cheers is backed by doctors, PhDs, and over a thousand verified clinicians. Take Cheers Restore After Your Last Drink or Before You Go To Bed and Wake Up Feeling At Least 50% Better or Your Money Back. For a limited time, our listeners are getting 20% off their entire order at CheersHealth.com slash stoic. That's still allowed.
Maybe it's a bit of a stretch. Maybe he would have hated it. But in telling the story of a grippiness in lives of the stoics, which you can grab at the painted porch, I'll link to it in today's show notes, I couldn't help but quote one of my favorite Allyson chains lyrics. If I can't be my own, I'd feel better.
Dead. A grippiness had inherited from his father, were told by Tacitus, an almost genetic hatred of tyrants. He refused to kneel to Nero or even attend his parties. When someone asked him why he didn't keep a lower profile, given the environment of informers and enforcers, a grippiness explained that he was like the red thread and otherwise plain garment that he stood out in order to make things more beautiful.
In other words, a grippiness was his own man, even at great cost. He would be sent into exile for it. He would be nearly killed for it. But to be anything else, to compromise to mute his colors, well he wouldn't even think of it, because there are some things worse than death.
What a wonderful lesson for our conformist times. What a powerful example in these days of political fealty and cancel culture. Be your own person. Be who you are.
Stand out. Stand up. It's what makes life beautiful and worth living. Don't you wish everything was more rewarding?
