This might not be the best reason to quit drinking.

But I’m struggling right now. And so any reason is a good reason.

I began binge drinking at around age 35. Once or twice a month I would drink a bottle of wine (sometimes more). And pass out on the sofa. At home. Alone.



I’m 52 now. I’ve taken a year off from drinking here and there. My longest stint without drinking was 2.5 years. I noticed how much better I felt when I wasn’t drinking. But I not only felt better. I looked better too. My skin was better. My hair looked better. These might be superficial reasons not to drink. But it’s getting me through tonight. I’m vegan. I already have a low protein intake. Couple that with empty calories from wine…and you get a very unhealthy human.

Thanks for listening.
