I gave up drinking 2 months ago and don't crave alcohol at all
I learned to lean on alcohol to sooth my anxious teenage self, I wonder if things would of been different if I was comfortable in my own skin
This snowballed over the years to drinking a bottle of wine most nights and binging if I went out
I do miss the ritual of it, that first glass of wine after work, and I miss the taste of it - I really did enjoy tasting different wine. These were learned things.
