Year one in the books
I first realized I was a problem drinker fifteen years ago, in my mid-twenties — going so far as to scribble "I'm an alcoholic" in a journal a few times, but nothing further. One year ago today, I stopped wishing and hoping, and ACTUALLY DID THINGS to stop drinking.
It was abrupt; it was unplanned, and in hindsight I probably should have sought medical support. There were headaches and brain fog. I was uncomfortable in my own skin for weeks afterwards. Social situations were weird, and I was never more than a half-step ahead of boredom.
Now my mind is clear, I'm comfortable without alcohol wherever I am, and I'm only bored when I want to be.
It's worth it, people!
