Not sure what to say but it feels like a switch clicked in my head today and my eyes were opened.
Yesterday I bought 2 sixpacks to last me over the holidays and today I saw that they’re empty. And the expensive whisky for special occasions too.
I didn’t even have a reason to drink that much. I’ve officially lost control.
So no more “only on weekends”. Or “not at home” Or “not alone”. Or “not more than 2 beers”. Tried all that, didn’t work.
I am not going to drink today. I don’t need to drink today. What a liberating feeling!
I tried to get into The Simple Method before and I disagreed on too many points for it to work. Also stopped smoking but not with The Easy Way. His basic premise that cigarettes and alcohol actually do nothing for you at all simply didn’t click with me.
What I did take from his books was the mindset that I’m not forced to avoid the drug, I’m finally free to live without it.
