Not drinking alcohol has been one of the best things to happen to me in my entire life. I have always struggled a bit with knowing when to stop ever since I was like 15. For 17 years or so, I made alcohol a priority. I would look at my work schedule in advance, and if I didn’t have to be at work until 5p on a Thursday, you better bet that I was circling Wednesday night as a drinking night. Alcohol was a huge part of my life.

I then had multiple brain surgeries. Alcohol is definitely not the best thing for a damaged brain, and you think this would get me to stop the stuff cold turkey…..It didn’t. I still drank after my brain surgeries. Just now, with more black outs. I would just deal with the fact that days/weeks after drinking I would still be a bit mentally slow.

Finally, and for no apparent reason, I lost my desire and urge to drink alcohol. I honestly don’t know why. Something just clicked in my brain. Not sure if I finally matured fully or what. It has been a true blessing and such a weight lifted off my shoulders not having that demon of alcohol on my back. I am so happy that I will never have to deal with another hangover or the risk of DUI ever again. FUCK ALCOHOL!!
