… and I wonder why I’m no longer drinking.
I stopped because I only wanted more after my first. This was a problem as me and my friends were doing this every every in the weekend.
Stopping with drinking was a huge relief as I no longer suffered from crippling hangovers.
This is now years ago and my life, and the people around me, has changed. Everyone calmed down with the drinks and is no longer going on benders. People now drink casually as “normal” people do.
I wonder if I could do it because I do miss the taste of the drinks and slight buzz. On the other hand I feel blessed to have discovered this secret power of a life without alcohol and hangovers.
It is dangerous. One thing I remember from sd on Reddit is the various posts of people that moderation didn’t work. Never seen a post of someone where it had worked out.
Likely because any support group is for the group needing support. If someone is successful in moderation they are unlikely to return to the support group, while those who relapse will return to discuss it.
Yeah but I constantly have this little goblin in the back of my head saying this time it’ll be different.
