If you're thinking that you don't want to fully let go of your drinking because it's such a big part of you, I get that.
However, I am happier than I have ever been when I don't drink.
I can go outside my door and look anybody in the eye.
No shame, no worrying about something I may have said or done.
I am so happy I don't drink.
