Mic,
I don't give advice anymore, I tell stories. It works for me.
When I was 28 I quit once for 8 months. It was so easy I started up again. Big mistake.
The internet, and sr, saved my life.
I use this for my aa meetings. I went to a bunch and didn't do that well.
My fault is the best answer.
I use sr to remind me and keep myself accountable.
I have some rewiring going on from my drinking or whatever and I know if I drink again, it will get worse.
All drinking really does...imo...is alter my analysis ability and put me in a euphoric state as long as i stay drunk. I develop tolerance, like any medication. So i drink more and more.
That is why some folk overdose etc.
For me...It is all science. I know a quick way to turn off my analysis is booze.
I try to forget the negative consequences. Sr reminds me.
There is more, but I have said enough for now.
Thanks.
