I’ve been binge drinking on the weekends for 20 something years and I stopped drinking 11 days ago and it’s going well. I feel optimistic. It’s intimidating, but for the first time I’m not afraid of the thought that I can’t drink in the future. I’m excited for it. I don’t HAVE to not drink. I GET to not drink and it feels different this time.
Your comment brought a lot to the table today. Thank you for making it.
