Wow, thanks for inspiring, Lisa! So glad you are healthy, and breaking up w drinking sounds like a pivotal moment in your life. Teetotal on. You’re wonderful!
Love this. You explain it so well. Zero benefits, posion—>similar to smoking a cigarette. Just wish my mom was reading this and not me. I rarely drink anymore, but I guess I never thought about giving it up for good. Figure if I don’t have a problem, it’s okay to want to “loosen up” at a social event of some sort. On that same note though, I pretty much always feel worst after so why do I still reach for it? I stumble my words, overthink, underthink (if that’s a word lol) and get a headache. What’s really fun about that? You didn’t have a problem and still gave it up… I think you’re on to something ❤️
Vicky—if you read Quit Like a Woman by @Holly Whitaker, you would be DONE. It will piss you off like it did me. “Why wait until there’s a problem to quit?” is one of the crazy things we don’t think about since it seems like EVERYONE drinks. And if you don’t, they’ll assume there was a problem. It’s so stupid!
I no longer drink and I’ve found I can enjoy life regardless! There is so much to experience and learn. Appreciate you taking the time to share this viewpoint!
Thanks for reading and commenting! Life is better and there’s more time and energy for learning and experiencing new things. I’d love to share more, but I’m kinda gatekeeping it for the longer essay I’m working on!
