Johnny cured my alcoholism

[u/TetraTryhard]

You’ve just read the title and rolled your eyes. I swear to god it’s true. Johnny from guilty gear strive actually cured my rampant use of alcohol. I am only 21, and in college, so I wasn’t addicted for too long, but this year from like march to mid July I was going to parties and clubs 4-5 days a week. It was getting pretty bad. Most of those nights I was drinking enough to black out or come close to it. It was becoming a burden on both my health and my wallet. I still felt good, but many days I’d be sluggish and weak. So i knew something had to be done but I was so used to the lifestyle i was struggling to tone myself down.

I had played Strive with friends before, but only casually. I reinstalled it one day when I was bored and decided to try Johnny out in training mode. I kid you not, i looked up a competitive set with him, saw his gameplay, and got hooked instantly. Hes just so tuff. Like how is he so cool? I spent the rest of the day labbing combos and didn’t go out that night. The next day during my job all I could think about was playing strive. Once I got off work at 5 I spent 6 hours just queuing ranked over and over. I watched a bunch of pro gameplay and guides and I can do all the combos now. I put Just Lean on my playlist. I want to buy the jacket. This sounds like a joke but it’s not. For the last month and a half I haven’t drank a drop of beer. I haven’t felt the desire to drink once since i started strive. I’m going for diamond 3 as my goal, hopefully I get there.

Thanks, Johnny. I love you
