I wanted to capture something that happened to me today.
First, let me just mention that I have really been trying different things to maybe find a better way to live. Fortunately, I take plenty of vitamin G which makes my current situation sustainable and progressing in the right direction. Vitamin G is gratitude which keeps people on track if they have it, and that has always been how I’ve been able to not go off the rails. But more about that later.
I ran out of adult beverages a while back. When Amazon Fresh went out of business in February, they had half off on all alcohol, so I stocked up. I bought many things I would not normally buy, and much of it was top shelf spirits. If nothing else, I had a whole variety of drinks to choose from. I also bought a lot of non-alcoholic wines and beers which often are much more expensive than the alcohol version. Up until about a month ago, that alcohol lasted without my having to buy any alcohol for 8 months. I was also enjoying some higher quality drinks instead of the cheaper stuff I would buy to save money.
After I ran out of the alcohol, I was not in the habit of stocking up, so I just forwent the alcohol for several weeks. I thought I might feel differently and better. Although I did feel different, it was not really on the upside. I couldn’t fall to sleep as quickly as when I do after a nightcap, and life in general became a routine to get things done with little to look forward to. But at the same time, I wanted to confirm what drinking daily might do to someone, so I was very interested in staying on the wagon for some time.
