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!
First couple days are the hardest. Then the old routines are hard to break. After about a year you’ll have lost weight, feel healthier and wondered how you went on drinking like you did for so long.
