I now seem to care more about the bad memories I have with drinking and more importantly, the times I've put my wife through. We deserve a good retirement together. That's why I thought the change from vodka to beer was so good. It was just a new path to self destruction. Let's be honest here. I have been self destructing. And it has been easy to justify with the pandemic and the overbearing reach of the government and the strife seemingly everywhere. Why bother. I really hope that I'm reaching a turning point. I know my health hopes so.
This sounds like the illusion breaking. Once you see it for what it is you won't be able to get away fast enough.
