courage with emotional vulnerability in regards to your ex.
I can be proud of someone I informally know through their work, right? right! I'm excited for you to see how rewarding it can be when alcohol is removed.
I'm celebrating my 3rd year alcohol free tomorrow. When I stopped I decided I would give myself a year booze free to evaluate how I felt. Three months in I knew I would not be drinking again any time soon.
as a fellow neurodivergent auty it's been really interesting to see where in my life I was drinking as a means of softening, blurring, distancing , dealing, etc. I learned so much about myself and have been surprised at how sensitive I can be to things like restaurants, crowds and noise.
It's been great to see many unexpected benefits across my life and relationships.
I’m proud of you too! And thank you for sharing your experience. It’s been a month but I already feel like I made the right choice and I suspect it’ll go longer than a year.
Interesting. I recently gave up my nightly 3 oz vodka martinis, thought I thought I'd have one every Friday night while watching Brooks and Capehart. And maybe a mid-week giant margarita. I, like you, have decided cutting back has only made the next days a bit more annoying. So I'm going into 2025 with a dry January. I may do an occasional wine now and then after Januray, and I still like the idea of Sunday mimosas but we see. But it does certainly save money. Good luck, and have a great new (California sober) Happy New Year!
Gay sober = only cocaine
