    When the world gets too complicated and moving too fast, I sit down and have a chat with Jim. Who do you chat with?

    A nice Scot--usually Lagavulin if I have it, but any good single malt will do.

    I talk to myself. Usually in the car but can be anywhere. I have entire conversations; I work through things in a stream-of-conscious conversational way that I probably wouldn't have come up with otherwise.
    Sometimes I put a bluetooth thingy in my ear so people will think I'm on the phone.

    (I'm not kidding)

    Former alcoholic here. Jim and his pals just make me depressed. I've learned that they are false friends. They won't help me with my problems. I have to deal with those myself. Several people who were very important in my life died too soon as the result of being overly familiar with the likes of Jim.

    I used to talk with Jim frequently... now I speak nearly exclusively with Jose... when I ain't talking to Zinfandel or Moet...

    but as Daniel alluded to... they aren't my friends... just something to help get comfortably numb when I don't have to be responsible for someone.

    I'm too self-conscious to talk to myself in public (even with a prop) but I do the same thing.

    It doesn't help me because my self-conversations generally involve explaining stuff that I understand but I'll never need to explain.

    I do like to spend time with, rather than converse with fermented apple and pear juice, although lately I've been spending more time with grapes, both white and red. Anything more is too spirited for me. PS Cereal crops should be eaten, not drunk.

    In 1983, I spent a day distracting my father in law while they had a baby shower for my wife, since then I have not 'chatted' with anything alcoholic, Fresca is my choice if I can't get water.
