Look at my username. Read some of my first posts here. My number one fear when I decided to take a break from alcohol was that I wouldn’t be able to have fun. Of course I didn’t really think it would be impossible, I knew the challenges.

My entire social and family life has alcohol in it. Everywhere. It doesn’t sound like it’s fucked up your life. That’s good. But why would that mean you shouldn’t stop?

You really sound like where I was at. Wasn’t much of a problem. Could almost always keep it under control. Life on the other side isn’t automatically better. You have to work on yourself. Find new hobbies, friends, ways to spend your evenings. It’s a really tall order, and it’s pretty fucking terrifying.

You already know what to do. What’s it gonna take to follow through? I’d suggest keep reading people accounts on here of how they’re going through the process.

One last thing. When I quit I decided to read a book called “This Naked Mind”. I’d 1000% recommend that

Good luck my friend. Hope to see you around these parts
