I drink. A good amount actually. I post about it here and there, but I just now realized that I haven’t had a sober streak of more than a week since early January. Only been able to get a couple days in a row since then before I go back to boozing.
Currently I’m at one shot of one of those 50ml tequila shots (those ones that they give you on airplane rides) right before i get into work at 9am to get that morning buzz going, another one of those 50ml shots a couple hours later at 11am-12pm, and then maybe another one a couple hours after that (or sometimes I’ll just cap it off at two of those for the afternoon). Then once I’m off work around 6pm I’ll buy a few more of those 50ml tequila shots and just chug em throughout the night as I’m hanging out or skating, and then I’ll usually end the night at the bar with a couple beers and a couple more shots on top of what I already drank earlier, then repeat again the next day. That’s about an average of ten drinks a day (sometimes less, but often times more) and it’s been like that all of 2023 for me pretty much. Maybe not a lot when you compare it to some people who drink like a handle a day or a 24 pack a day, but still more than the average drinker for sure.
I’ve been thinking about going sober for a while now, if not permanently then at least for a handful of months just to give my body a rest from this constant boozing which I feel can’t be too good for it.
I’ve been reading up on withdrawals n stuff and it’s got me a bit nervous that I might get them so I was gonna try to just cut back by one less drink a day for the next week or two until I cut it down to none and then just go from there, kinda like what BA did when he quit drinking, so that way it would lessen any potential withdrawals. Wish me luck y’all.
