Year two in the books! Happy Anniversary to me. That is about all I have to say about me. Almost.
Year one was totally about me. Rewiring my brain to unplug all of the bullshit that society had programmed into it took some effort. I won't lie. Drown your sorrow, celebrate your victory, unwind after work, relax, lunch date, dinner date, picnic, pool party, game day, vacation, holidays, milestones, set backs, busy mind, empty mind, EVERYTHING requires booze. Or so society and pretty much everyone I know thinks. eh hum...BULLSHIT...eh hum.
Year two was observation that led to affirmation. I have never, and I mean NEVER had someone tell me that the bottle of wine they drank to numb the pain actually took it away. I have watched people celebrate only to see them end the night early after too much "fun". I have heard endless complaints of health issues. Beer guts, chubby tummies, diarrhea every day, swollen this and bloated that. Insomnia, lethargy, depression. I had it all and I've heard it all. You can't con a con. It's the booze!
So year three starts with me saying, I am stronger than ever, and hoping that more people will quit using a bottle or can to accomplish life. Because, life really is so much better without it!
