Alcohol free journey

March 1, 2024
Do not drink alcohol.
Do not drink alcohol.

No matter what happened and what will happen. I own them all.

Two decades of poisoning myself, take at least one year to reset biochemistry, physiology.

How to alcohol-free? Don’t drink.

A small amount to have fun, to taste life, ... except it consumes me. I was lying to myself. I knew that.

Poison and evil come quietly, disguised as "good accompany" or "good time." With enough passing of time, I cannot go back, becoming a chronic alcoholic. I was looking for it to have "good times."

On weekdays, I work and do not drink. On weekends, I drink as a way of relaxing. I built a pattern of "working is a punishment, drinking is a reward." Evil formula! And it is amplified by the general acceptance of society. Monday starts and gives you a sense of "in control again" and "doing good thing again." A perfect cycle!

March 10 In my dreams, I drank 2 beers in a party. Terrifying realize that I quitted. Scary. My subconscious mind starts to help me.

They came time and time during the year. Funny and scary how the mind works.

Not a single drop so far.

It takes a lot of time and effort to trust ME.
