I’ve decided to stop drinking. Like, forever. I’m going to go to an AA meeting. My last day drinking will be May 6th. I’ll end with a nice bottle of Dom.

It’s no longer serving me. Has it ever? Bad for my brain, bad example for my kids, bad for my weight and it makes me feel like shit the next day. I’m done.

Feels good to resolve to do this. But I’m also scared. Scared of losing friendships, missing out on social events etc.

It’s going to be a big change.

Good luck, man. You have the will power to do whatever you want to do.

Thank you, my friend! For the record, this is 100% my choice and wasn't presented to me by anyone. I am making this decision for myself to have a better life. Period. Looking forward to playing some tennis with you this summer. Need to line that up. ecib mk come to NC!

That definitely means your chances of sticking with it are a lot higher. Or if you don't it will also be on your own terms after you've cleared your head. I'm a tinge hungover myself today and will be tomorrow, too (hockey). It's rough at my age to be sure.
