For a long time I sought 'reasons' why alcohol was problematic in my life.
I tried a lot of explanations and approaches.
None of those 'worked' and alcohol just got worse and worse for me.
Now I realize that's because - IT'S ALCOHOL.
And what I want from life is inconsistent with what alcohol offers.
I see no good reason to drink alcohol.
I'm much happier and better off as a result.
This is only my experience - but I share it with you in the event that something in my experience is in some way helpful yo you.
Congratulations on a year!!
