Not sure what to say but it feels like a switch clicked in my head today and my eyes were opened.
Yesterday I bought 2 sixpacks to last me over the holidays and today I saw that they’re empty. And the expensive whisky for special occasions too.
I didn’t even have a reason to drink that much. I’ve officially lost control.

So no more “only on weekends”. Or “not at home” Or “not alone”. Or “not more than 2 beers”. Tried all that, didn’t work.

I am not going to drink today. I don’t need to drink today. What a liberating feeling!

    This is huge, you’re going to feel so good.

    Make sure you have a plan of something ‘to do’ instead if you feel down, worn out, angry about something. That’s when the “I just need to unwind today” thinking might kick in. But you might just enjoy not drinking enough to never have that urge.

    Nice work

      I’m really lucky to live in a place where I can just walk or cycle into the woods and hills directly from my house.
      That always lets the stress fall off.
      And now I’ll finally have the time to do that regularly.
