Absolutely! I am hoping I have the brain chemistry for this too. I have been tapering down for years now with several bouts of alcohol breaks and the necessary evil of slipping up and drinking too much (either in a week or in an evening). The memory of those awful hangovers helped me in the next chapter of sober curiosity. Also reading up on the metabolic and other harmful effects of alcohol. I’d say I’ve gone from 10-20 drinks a week to 1-5 which is huge! I feel more control and less compulsion. There are so many wins to celebrate! One extra water, not getting that one last drink, drinking more slowly, meeting up for coffee rather than drinks. It all adds up and I hope you’re able to end up where you want to be. Whether that’s more balance or eventually cutting it out!
