I will not drink with you today! Snowed in and trying to potty train my toddler. Wish me luck.

Great job! The first 3-4 weeks is always the hardest. In my experience, trying to moderate or slow down would work for a bit but the frequency would always start to creep back up so I decided stopping for good is more sustainable.

Be the change you want to see in the world! Do you have a question or some advice to others you want to share?

I did not drink with you today!

I resonate a lot with your story. I also never hit rock bottom. I was excelling in my career and I had a fulfilling home life. I just couldn’t stop thinking about the long term health consequences and having my son born made those thought impossible to ignore.

When I decided to quit, I tried to consume as much anti-drinking media as possible. I landed on The Happy Sober Podcast as my main source. I listened to all 200 episodes in the first 30 days and it helped reprogram the way I thought about alcohol. Craig Beck does a good job of revealing the tricks alcohol plays on the brain. He also talks about when he tried AA and it sounds a lot like your experience with the meetings. I don’t think the meetings are for everyone. You’ve got to find what works for you.

Hi there! What’s on your mind?

Thank you!

Congrats!!

I quit 1 year ago today. You can do it! For the first month, I tried to consume as much information as possible about the negative health effects of alcohol so I could reprogram my brain to have a negative reaction when I see it.

Happy New Years, friends! IWNDWYT
