I had a love affair with craft beer. I was a beer aficionado and had acquired quite an extensive knowledge of beer history, brewing and classification. I never had a desire to stop consuming it. I knew I drank too much, it was affecting my bank account (good beer can be up to $15 a six pack), my relationships with my family and my health. The experience I had with beer was held in high regard in some circles and on top of having no desire to stop consuming for myself, I couldn't imagine throwing away all of that knowledge, experience and regard of peers.
I did not have any desire to stop, until....
My "until" was a kick in the sack. I hope you find yours before it hurts too much.
