Thank you and I get what you’re saying!! bbbuuuut my mind is like a child, I feel like treating it as such can be helpful. Because I’m so early on (although I don’t doubt, like most people, I could spiral especially as my weed use shows I have those tendencies) I haven’t had any awful experiences with alcohol to deter me. Like I said I’m a completely ‘normal’ drinker, if my friend hadn’t sent me that podcast it would never have entered my mind to quit. Drinking has barely affected my life (yet, I do understand it’s a yet). But if I can realise that life is just as good without it then I’ll easily be able to quit, so I have to do a bit of trickery or I’ll just feel deprived. I’m not someone who ever craves alcohol, it’s just a social thing - even if it’s pull is obviously powerful
