over time. DEPRESSION...the thought of that happening suddenly made me think twice before drinking (NEVER had that before). 2 weeks (betwen drinks) stretched into 4, then 8 (experimental (NOT desire, but traditional times) happened 4 times. Same DEPRESSION (day after)...stay in bed all day, etc.
happened over time is what I'm saying. desire just faded away. to nonexistent. If I do think about it, it doesn't appear to be a valid option, based, I guess, in part, on how I've BENEFITED (intangibly) I think, but STILL the "fear" of that DEPRESSION the day after (if thoughts GET that far). I STILL have alcohol in the house.
Congrats dude, glad you are doing a lot better. Dump that poison in the house down the drain. You aren't going to use it. I never spent the day in bed but I have definitely wasted plenty of days.
Frankly mentioning it, was the first time I thought about it in a WHILE. I think last time, was I was thinking if I was going to make it through christmas and new years. Then I forgot all about it. Just didn't enter my mind.
No point in going back. It wasn't doing anything positive for you. Everything is better once you quit drinking, which is why I don't understand why I don't do it.
