Time Travel Is Bad

Do not suddenly stop drinking alcohol as a new years resolution if you have been consistently using alcohol most days

Your body gets used to the presence of the alcohol as a sedative in your system

Suddenly removing the sedative you are chemically accustomed to is like suddenly removing the wall you are leaning on - you will topple over

You brain electricity gets overexcited

This causes seizures

This causes sudden onset dementia (Wernicke's encephalopathy)

This causes brain damage

If you use alcohol often (even in moderate amounts)

Or in large amounts

Or you have ever noticed you get shakey tremors and anxious when you stop drinking

Then your body is chemically dependant and you need to be very careful coming off alcohol otherwise you will cause brain damage

Slowly wean down the amount you drink over days or weeks

Talk to a doctor about your goals to quit and ask about support options

Medically supported withdrawal is a lot safer

If alcohol withdrawal goes badly there is a 15% chance it will kill you.

Do not go this alone

His dead brother’s wife?!!! Scandalous!!

What can I say, they are the OTP of The Way of Kings. 

As you can see this one too went through several iterations. The first version of them I painted last year ago while visiting Alaska with my friend and co-conspirator. But it felt too stiff and didn’t fit very well with the first WoK cover we made for this series. So after some months I sat down again and now I am really happy with it ☺️

I hope you like it, too.
