Thanks Alex. I've said similar words to my wife "You wonder why I drink"This is awesome to read. Keep it going tuffnutt.
I remember my first few months alcohol free were beyond challenging at times. More than once, dealing with BS at work or home I would think “Jesus, this is why I liked to drink so much.”
Many years later now, that thought doesn’t even cross my mind. Wouldn’t trade my life now for my old life.
Not every day is easy or perfect, but on average it gets better a little bit each day.
Stryker, kudos for taking a big step and thanks for sharing your experience in the moment.
I've learned that those words aren't helpful and a justification for me and my drinking.
I'm trying. That's all I have right now. I'm trying.
I'll answer anything else that comes up in the morning or over the next few days but I'm going to bed and have crazy yardwork to do. In the meantime thanks for letting me vent, if only for a bit. Luff ewe all
