Well... either YOU choose to eventually stop drinking (Or severely cutback)... OR... at some point you get GERD and Acid Reflux and Hypertension and Sleep Apnea......and......and.......and.....
And like... I don't just up and go get myself a drink in the house anymore.. but... oddly enough, I STILL find myself feeling compelled to... or at least like the thought of..... buying stuff and adding to the liquor cabinet, used when we host events at the house, to have stuff to offer to others.
To the gentleman talkin' 'bout blowing thru a "handle" (1.75L) of whatever drink that was... in 3-4 days!?!?... WHOA!...dude you're gonna blow a hole out the bottom of your stomach/liver pronto with carrying on like that! That is a lot for 1 person to be drinking. Not as bad as some people I've seen... but that's definitely up there in the "there's a problem here" territory.
Big thing is just really be honest with yourself about what's going on in your life that you want to avoid or don't want to think about and process. Cause if you're hittin' it up past a certain amount... with that level of consistency... it's because there's isht buggin' ya... that usually you feel you can't do anything about. So ya end up wanting to distract your waking thoughts from pondering about it. So the escapism of drink quelling that nature within us that contemplates our current problems on our plate, can have QUITE the allure.
What will be key for you, whoever the "you" is... is having a key important enough reason that you'll hang on to... as to why you're electing to stop.
Maybe it's :
"I don't wanna walk around with Dragon Breath anymore"
"I donna wanna have to be downing acid blockers like candy anymore"
"I don't want my voice box burnt by stomach acids anymore"
"I no longer want to be snapped awake from sleep because my body acid reflux'd while I was asleep and now there's a crap ton of stomach acid burning inside my voice box that I'm trying to gargle out of there and it's making me cough my fool head off!"
"I don't want to deal with when you wake up the next day and you feel like something the cat threw up."
...OR...
"Ugh, I was a little quick to temper and show my frustration with/at my child the other day, that was NOT cool."
...OR...
"I'm killing myself in the Gym... but it's never gonna "look" good if I can't get my diet in order. Abs are made in the Kitchen, not the gym.
Or like the saying goes : "A drunk mans words are a sober man's thoughts." So... if you've got a lot of stuff on your heart in terms of your current relationship... that drink is a freaking HORRIBLE idea! Because you KNOW DAMN WELL there's no way you're going to convey your observations of that other persons not cool actions/behaviours are... in a way that will be rec'd well when you're in that kind of state. Just ain't hap'nin'. And you also KNOW that if you go that route... drinking to make you not think about those issues... that's EXACTLY what your dumb@ss is gonna bring up in conversation once you get a little less inhibited.
YEah.. I know.. overshare.. but whatever.. if just 1 young dude comes along and reads this.. and in doing so avoids some headache and hassle in his life, it was worth it.
