I have never really tried to quit until now...I have gone a couple of weeks here and there...just to see if I could do it, and it was hell.
My drinking is making my wife distance herself from me....and I know exactly why. I could not imagine if our roles were reversed.
Don't get me wrong, I've always maintained...as most of us do. I use every preventive measure known to man to stop a hangover and conceal it to my co-workers. And so far, I've done pretty good. I've been promoted to upper managment in two jobs in the past ten years.
The problem is I am tired of it...of all the negatives alcohol brings versus the positives. All the hiding, sneaking, arguments...etc.
The biggest thing I miss is the clarity......how clear things are when you aren't hung over or drunk...it's amazing to me.
But I always find a "reason" to imbibe the beer again....lets list them..."stress", "joy", "football",....."awake"
I can find any reason to drink, but there are many more reasons not to. Thats why I downloaded the book and ordered all the supplements I could. I read the book and found it inspiring...I look forward to completing this journey with all of you
