Good for you. How do you feel after all those years?
I had a period of 8 months sober some years ago. I can handle my alcohol now, though I am slowly starting to drink less and less. It's been three weeks since my last drink, actually. Sometimes I want to fully quit as well, but since I don't have a problem and I like to drink a beer every once in a while, I keep wondering if I should.
Big difference between substance misuse and substance use comrade, if you have a healthy relationship with it now thats great and likely doesnt need changing; for some people a clean break is the only way however.
Its all about the relationship you have with it and where it lands on your life priority list; when substances start becoming more important priorities than real life shit is when they tend to become issues.
Yeah, I guess I knew the answer already and it's yours lol. I don't know what I wanted to hear.
