How long did it take to lose desire? I quit for 6 months a while back and never felt better. I gotta buckle down and just do it. I’m so much more productive, feel a lot better, and think a lot better when I’m not drinking, even a week after.
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.
