Day 1 again here. Ugh. Wish I could get on this wagon. IWNDWYT though
You haven’t stopped trying and that is what is important. :)
Have you tried purposely stepping down consumption? I used tall boys of my least favorite beer to quit, they allowed me to start off getting a good buzz then to slowly decrease my in take of alcohol to the smallest single can i could get, and after that i switched to delicious Nonalcoholic beers. Cold turkey isn't for everyone, and I have no doubt that if you want to quit, you can do it. I believe in you amd will not drink with you today!!
Yeah everyone's different. To some people your advice might actually be harmful, so readers be ware.
Anyway, cutting way back and then switching to non alcoholic beers definitely worked for me.
Now I reach for tea after work, but if I'm going to be around drinkers (again this might be very very bad advice for some), I find a non alcoholic beer pleasant enough.
Bruh do you have idea how many "Day 1s" I've had in the short time I've started actively trying to do this?
Don't give up! This is about progress, not perfection! We all got this! Just gotta keep at it!
Keep getting after it, this is a good place with good people.
You just posted here, looks like you’re on the wagon to me! Sounds like you just hopped off for a moment and forgot we have snacks and beanbag chairs up here, welcome back!
