I am with you 'I just no longer drink' - it is a roller coaster at times but what an adventure too! I like your self-care defaults. My immediate self-care default is to get my butt to bed so I can be fresh for my spin class tomorrow morning.
Yes! nice. Then that decision on a consistent basis becomes an ingrained habit. An ingrained life-enhancing positive habit! Retraining the mind. Disciplining the mind with self-care orientated limits! A reason to go to bed, thinking about a positive seed you want the plant the next morning. Two birds one stone.
Besides, nothing good happens after midnight.
