I’m 3 years sober now.
Everyone’s gotta make their own way.
Owning a bar was tricky in my case, that and aspects of my personality.
But the habit mind is the real bitch.
It’s seriously been the best choice dropping that habit in my case.
My life completely switched in a very short time.
I was never some hopeless drunk.
I just struggled stopping when I got on a roll.
Every once in a while I have a tinge of nostalgia. And then I wake up feeling great again, while seeing others hungover.

I won’t give it complete credit, as I was ready to quit. But I read the first few chapters of ‘The Naked Mind’. That straight forward approach to looking at alcohol was helpful in the moment when I was ready.
