It didn’t take long before I figured out that drinking was causing a lot of my problems and that by quitting drinking, I was have less and less to drink about…
I find this to be very true. I believe that I was creating problems by blowing things out of proportion to give myself perceived reasons to drink. Not that I needed excuses, I drank because I drank. I still have problems now that I'm abstinent but they don't seem so bad or as dramatic. I find that with a clear mind I'm able to confront any issues and deal with them if I can or just step back if I can't and let them play out. More often than not everything works itself out.
