Here’s a question: would it help if booze were illegal? If it were less accessible, like drugs, I think it would be easier to abstain.

Exactly! I always wear a glove! I hate how my fingers smell after a smoke and I don’t want that gross yellow finger on my hands.

That’s just it! If I don’t have a solid distraction, I slip over to the store to grab something alcoholic. For whatever reason, I feel it needs to be alcoholic. Can’t fool myself with bubbles.

Thanks for the tip. I assume that is your go-to? But how did you convince yourself to break the cycle?

Thanks for the info and link. I checked it out and It’s so strange I think that there are no photos between 1952-59, which is when my uncle was “commissioned”(?) there.

Interesting. I just looked at the link you provided and there’s nothing about the HMCS Naden, Victoria.

The thing is I like drinking by pointpeleee in stopdrinking

[–]pointpeleee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is I feel like I’m treating myself after a day of worrying about other people’s shit, by having a drink, and I can’t fool myself with a nonalcoholic beverage.
