[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At some point my mind switched. If I have a bad day, I deserve to double down on things that are good for me (or not terrible). Hard cardio. Favorite take out. A fluffy book. Call/texting with a friend. Early bedtime. [/quote] Yes this is me too. Having a drink after a long day used to be relaxing, but now the side effects are enough that is increases my anxiety to drink (because I don't sleep well and I now know on a more intense level how bad it is for me). So I just don't reward myself or do something to "unwind". I just...take a shower and go to bed. Even a year ago I was drinking much more than I do now and once I broke a few habits, I don't miss it. I do miss how it made me feel. But it doesn't make me feel that way anymore. I also learned I really was looking forward to Friday night cocktail hour a bit too much. Now I don't even think about.[/quote]
