And what I am about to say sounds completely awful but I feel like my life would be boring without it.
Id like to think I can ween myself off of it like a smoker but that is just silly talk in my head right now.
ps: the more I talk the more I sound like I truly have a problem.
HUGE thanks to everyone who has replied so quickly.
"If you're bored, you're boring." lol
Seriously, my drinking life was predictable and monotonous - the same self-created drama over and over.
My sober life has been 100 times better. Career & social life, kids are doing great, dating, hobbies, fitness...get the picture?
But it was something I had to experience for myself.
