Before I broke my off switch that buzzed feeling is where I would stop. Now it's my jumping off point. When I was a normal drinker my brain would tell me I had enough. I didn't want to get drunk. I didn't seek out alcohol the way I would now. Going to the bar meant socializing. It wasn't about the booze. People would want to go out at 4 pm after work. Why would I do that I would just get tired and I have things to do? Now I could see myself planning my whole life around it. Back then a few drinks later in the day sounded like a good idea and I really did enjoy a few drinks. It would have been hard to give it up, but then again I had zero consequences.
