Another vice I need to let go.
Thatâs some good exercising. Keep up the good work.
Awww!! Thank you so much!!! That means SO much to me!!! And you are right on, I can and I will go above and beyond, I would like to believe I have learned my lesson, this time feels for ârealâ verses last time I always felt like maybe at some point, some day maybe I would do it again⌠but not this time around. It just feels so much better and ârightâ in my head amd heart and in my day to day life to not drink. Iâm dealing with a bit of crap right now and I have not thought about drinking one time. I know that it wonât help a damn thing anyway.
Today marks 3 years since my last drink.
I wonât go on and on and on. What I will do is relay a few pieces of my own experience:
- Quitting is 100% worth it
- It gets easier over time
- I am incredibly grateful that in my mind, it has become a default mindset that the costs of drinking far outweigh any fabricated benefit that I can come up with. Drinking doesnât cross my mind as an option under any circumstance. I am very lucky with that, but also remain vigilant in monitoring my thoughts.
- Quitting drinking opened a lot of mental doors, specifically having the confidence to do whatâs right for myself, even if others disapprove. As long as my actions and words are not intentionally hurtful or otherwise detrimental, their disapproval is their problem. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. I spent 32 years never believing in myself, including my first ~2.5 years without drink. Never self-assured. Iâve only just begun this part in the last few months, but damn I have such an unwavering belief in my ability to do and get through anything.
âI always regret drinking. I have never regretted not drinkingâ
Anyhow.
Keep going, all of you.
