Two Years
Hit two years today. Seems pretty crazy to think i’ve come this far. I was a daily black out drinker and took maybe 1-2 days off a month, if that. Crazy to think about how stopping one thing has had such a dramatic effect on my life. I’m starting to really love my life. Got really into gravel biking. One thing that has been on my mind is addressing the amount i was drinking with family/friends. There are a couple friends/family members i’ve told about how dark things got, but i still havent told my parents. They know i dont drink anymore, but dont know the extent of how bad it got. How do i broach this subject, without just being like “hey so i was functionally drunk for about 10 years and nearly drank myself to death during the pandemic”? Should i just not address it? No one has ever questioned my not drinking. In the two years of not drinking i havent spent $18981.96 and haven’t consumed 1,203,894 calories.
