    Yeah, and as someone who’s been there and can enjoy alcohol responsibly now, if quitting seems like a huge commitment, take a month off. It’ll still be there when the month is over, but if you’re still craving it after the month maybe take some more time away.

      Mmm those physical withdrawl symptoms are something once you’ve been at it for some years.

      Also it makes you fat! You may not notice now but you will! Took me 2 years to sweat all the gin out. I still drink on occasion as well. I know all to well the cycle of drinking making work suck, work making you want to drink, wash and repeat. The end result is fat, sad, and physical addiction that makes your hands shake.
