I am letting myself take a break from drinking
This is my new mantra. I've only been using it for a few days but it's kind of working for me?
I feel like the wording is helpful for re-framing my approach to quitting alcohol. Like just the linguistic adjustment from "I'm quitting, I can't drink tonight" to "I'm letting myself not drink."
I don't know, maybe I'm just super lazy and this is the best way to motivate myself, by thinking of drinking as a chore that I get to avoid.
Anyway, just wanted to share in case this helps anyone else.
Peace out, IWNDWYT.
