I understand what you're saying. I started watching the new season of True Detective the other night and was thinking to myself "man, they drink a lot in this show." It's interesting how much more hyper aware of it I've become. But also thinking "what's the point? Why are they doing that to themselves?"
I'm trying to stay strong and focused today, but I find myself thinking about "not drinking" 90% of the day. I'm just wondering if it'll ever lessen? I quit smoking years ago and only have fleeting thoughts every once in a while, usually only when I was drinking. I'm glad I'm not poisoning myself anymore, but I just wonder to myself, will it get easier?
