Not sure what to say but it feels like a switch clicked in my head today and my eyes were opened.
Yesterday I bought 2 sixpacks to last me over the holidays and today I saw that they’re empty. And the expensive whisky for special occasions too.
I didn’t even have a reason to drink that much. I’ve officially lost control.

So no more “only on weekends”. Or “not at home” Or “not alone”. Or “not more than 2 beers”. Tried all that, didn’t work.

I am not going to drink today. I don’t need to drink today. What a liberating feeling!

    be careful quitting cold turkey, one of 2 addictions that will kill you if you quit right away (the other being a type of painkiller i believe) consult a doctor to best manage it

      Three addictions! One is VERY difficult to find enough to get addicted to now, though. The three “B”s:

      Booze, Benzodiazepines, and Barbiturates.
