Once we were able to come out of isolation I told myself I wanted a drink. I have tried cutting back. Sometimes I do and sometimes I wish I had. I'm committing today bc it's the first of the month and I know I need to. I don't have faith in myself that I'll make it thru day 1 much less a month. I'm hoping I can get through today and tomorrow and continue. I just remembered this is a holiday weekend. Always something it seems. Crossing fingers and getting my literature out and read my journal from 2020 and see what has changed since then. Three more years of poisoning my body.

Day 1 ... once more... really want to have more energy and joy instead of fatigue and anxiety which i know is a result of alcohol. Feel like I have slipped back into old patterns of a glass of wine (or three) every evening and I need a reset before things escalate to far. Today is July 1st seems appropriate somehow at the halfway point of the year to focus on taking back control and being present 100% in life

Day 1...again...
Alcohol just costs me too much quality of life...that has to finally change. I am 51 years old and have been drinking for over 30 years...I want to change this. But it is really hard for me. Regards from Germany

We support all paths on this journey and - above all else - respect the fact that your relationship with alcohol is an individual path. While we aim to provide anecdotal and scientific education, we will never judge an individual's decision in regards to their own drinking.
