Wanna go drinking tonight?

Thanks, but I'm actually sober now.

Uh, okay, no problem. Can I ask why?

I'll show you.

I was sober for a couple of years and then I thought, you know, I want to just drink like a normal person and I want to have wine at dinner and so on.

And, you know, I was able to for about eight years.

I'm embarrassed how many times I quit and couldn't do it.

Well, I was at a point in my life where it was like, this has got to stop because my hangovers were getting so ridiculous and debilitating for a whole day.

So, I'm not doing this anymore and I read a book and then I was done.

I had my first beer at 11. One of my cousins gave it to me.

It's that awful thing that you hear every alcoholic talk about and if they don't talk about it, they're lying.

Like, you just become an awful human being. Like, you just, um, you're selfish.

I'll call consumption even in the low amounts causes harm to the entire body.

So many years that like the narrative was for me is this has a hold over you.

You will never break this cycle. You are a prisoner of your own weakness.

Diction is really anything we do or use compulsively to make ourselves feel better that has negative consequences.

I, for maybe the first time, am proud of myself that I didn't quit quitting because it's de-moralizing.

Like, to truly be powerless over something is de-moralizing and so rough.

If you stop drinking for 30 days, just cut back and what they're finding is people are living longer.
