I am 40 and just tired of 'managing' my drinking. I work in the creative field. I am a high achiever and have done some work I am truly proud of (when off the booze) and then I go into a binge drinking session and hide for while. I have kept it pretty hidden ( at least I have kept my concern about drinking hidden). In my circle hard drinking is romanticized a bit - or at least nOt shunned. Family life is another story - and that is my biggest reason to quit. When I am working on a project I am go go go and my family understands and respects that. ( 2 kids and wife). But it is not right that when I have time off - I go into a binge. The wife is supportive but doesn't understand why the cycle repeats over and over if I know it is destructive.
And frankly. I think I am not as fresh in my thinking and creativity. So going to give long term sobriety a shot and see where it takes me.
Does anyone have stories of increased creativityinspiration from stopping drinking?
Day 13.
