Hello, it's 16 days for me. I don't know how to explain but it really seems different this time. I'm really seeing drinking as just some stupid trick I play on myself.
I can't change the world so I'll just change the way I look at it. It's got as much to do with reality as someone who fantasises about their ideal life is really living it. It makes it all seem so empty.
When I'm sober and in the presence of drunks I find them pretty tiresome. I know I'm one of the worst. Maybe that's the big reason for drinking, just to fit in, where you have to be on other people's levels. That would have been okay I suppose if I'd ever known how to stop once I'd started.
Anyway, feeling good. I know it's worth it, but stopping's not everything. I have to have something to replace such a massive part of my life.
Best wishes to all here. We're all in it together.
