2764 days since my last drink…
… 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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I feel you, you're not alone. I guess it's the festive season. I quit 6 years or so ago but still miss it sometimes. The scary thing is that I took a sip of a new alcohol drink of my spouse and immediately felt all the urges and triggers to drink more and more. Just a sip and it was back much stronger than it was ever before. Super scary stuff.

I’m wondering if I’m still the guy who only saw the percentage of alcohol on the beer menu.
On the other hand might be a bit dangerous to try and see if I still am.
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.
