💬 'My drinking seemed fine but it made me so sad' What I learned after quitting alcohol in 2022 ⬇️

What I learned after quitting alcohol: It changed my sleep, my happiness, and my relationship with food‘In the past, I used alcohol as an emotional override button.

I finished writing a novel, I swam in the sea, I danced at weddings and birthday parties.

In my teens and twenties, I drank excessively and regularly. Sometimes I blacked out, sometimes I passed out. I did things I regretted with people I didn’t know very well. I felt anxious and exhausted, at least half the time. Then, I got lucky. I grew out of it.seemed to get a lot worse – but I’d have described my drinking as “normal’” It was social, it wasn’t daily.
