January 2, 20206 yr I have made a resolution of not drinking anymore, there again I am not going to drink any less either. Boom boom.
January 2, 20206 yr most folks who drink to excess will be drinking themselves to death, don't worry about quitting/slowing down, you'll miss the excruciating pain of your liver failing...
January 2, 20206 yr Started my annual one month abstinence to prove to myself I am not an alcoholic, I just like to drink. Worked for last thirty years, I know it’s not as good as having regular days per week but I’m happy doing what I do.
January 2, 20206 yr Popular Post I decided to take a break from alcohol on 12 September last year, I figured I'd just stop for a couple of weeks, mostly to prove that I could do so. After a couple of weeks I didn't miss booze at all plus I was sleeping better so I decided to keep going. Well, one thing led to another and here it is the new year and I've still not had any alcohol. I'm telling myself that I may as well stay tee-total until I go to the UK for the summer, I can't imagine being in Blighty and not having a pint. I was surprised how easy it is and that I don't miss it, odd really. I was rarely ever a big drinker but I was a consistent drinker, I'd have a something every day, now it feels weird but kinda good.
January 2, 20206 yr From a spiritual POV, my alcohol abstinence after a lifetime of drinking was an obligation I had to face and conquer. One more contractual challenge completed - and best wishes for everyone who is considering the challenge. IMO, I have no doubt that we ALL have life challenges to address - it's the whole purpose of evolving the soul. In my case I 'know' I've lived at least two lives on Earth, and no doubt I shall return after passing, at some future point to further my knowledge. let's hope this planet is a better place, though, and not destroyed by mankind.
January 2, 20206 yr I like to drink a beer from time to time and I won't let anyone take it away from me!

Simple test, have one drink at lunch time and then just one more at dinner time. If you can't do that, you are an alcoholic. If you can, you are not an alcoholic.

February 19, 20206 yr Author I think it is about where your thoughts go, when drinking. I have now been off it for 14 months, previous to that just over 12 months and prior to that 5 & 1/2 months. My state of thought processing is far better. I had some friends here from UK and they wanted to go Nana. One commented how a lot of guys down there seemed lost in their own world, eyes glazed over.... That precisely how I felt at the end of my drinking career. In some ways I was a little jealous that they could drink with seeming impunity and not let it get to them, mentally. For me the 1st drink unleashes the anchor and away I go, spinning thoughts and what could have beens through my head. Now I have peace of mind and have learnt to let go! whether you are drinking, cutting down, or in the process of quitting I hope you are all doing well!
