i’ve been drinking too much for 25 years, and it’s time i slowed it way down. not during the day—i’m not in that deep. but i can easily have 10-12 drinks during an evening. and many evenings. i have a family and a good job, and a volunteer position that’s important to me. the drinking could ruin my health and in any case it’s not doing anyone any good. i want to find out what i’m capable of and i don’t want to leave this earth early because of a drinking-related illness and leave my family alone. i’ve stopped for a week at at time, but 25 years is just stupid. i can’t remember the last saturday night i didn’t have multiple drinks. i hope writing here will help keep me focused.
