A silver lining is I have not had any spirts for about 10 days after pouring half a bootle of Jameson’s Irish whiskey down the sink.

I had to work hard last week and felt I needed/ deserved a drink. Almost every emotion I have seems to automatically lead to a strong desire to drink, my brain seems hardwired to it.

I have work to do on this.
Hi Stable, I can relate...

Alcohol was my go-to for everything thing.
  • If I felt pissed off, I wanted a drink.
  • If I was happy, I wanted a drink.
  • If I was sad, I wanted a drink.
  • If I was bored, I wanted a drink.
  • If it was raining, I wanted a drink.
  • If it was sunny, I wanted a drink.
Your brain is hardwired for alcohol. So is mine. Years upon years of heavy drinking actually changes your brain chemistry. The good news is you and I can re-wire our brains over time by staying sober, but it ain't happenin' overnight.
