We're right with you Aly
Jimi - I had many people who told me that I didn't need to quit and I wasn't an alcoholic - but none of them lived my life or got inside my head.
I know the drunk me and I know the sober me, and sober me is the one I want to live and die as.
I also know that any thoughts of me successfully moderating is a total fantasy - it's not going to happen, or least ways not very long.
I'm not sure how old you are Jimi but I shared this with another group"
Every single day is a day we never get to live again, and as we get older our store of days to come gets smaller...
if its a choice between a drinking life and a non drinking one, the non drinking one wins hands down.
Its not even a contest.
I get that drinking probably felt like a good idea - you and the missus have had some ups and downs, and being together in that sense was probably looking pretty good....but it's not sustainable Jimi, and it's not authentic.
I'm too old not to live authentically anymore.
