Been lurking and reading through this thread in an effort to re-program my thinking.
Turning 49 today, already had a big birthday blowout in Vegas, so my actual bday weekend is fairly mellow. Blessedly so.
I feel like I’m on a downward slide. Last few hangovers have been brutal and really tired of feeling like shit. Got hammered on Friday for absolutely no reason.
I don’t drink every day. I don’t crave it. But on the days I do drink, I just don’t stop. And it’s been getting worse. My tolerance is sky-high, and, by the time I’m feeling it, I’m completely hammered and out of control. Worried about some form of escalation and some form of rock bottom.
Reached out a friend with my intentions for some accountability. Discussed with my wife (no pics) as well. Obviously, both were very supportive.
I guess a little self-awareness is a good thing. We’ll see how this goes.
My overall goal is to hit 50 a lot leaner and meaner than now. I have a good life, but I guess middle-age is catching up a bit. Time to change some habits.
