   Today is also 4 weeks since I quit drinking again, 18 months after starting following my mom’s death. I think it will stick this time.

     Not for any particular reason other than I simply can't afford beer 🙄 I would like one right about now too! It's been a long week and I did a lot, and it would be nice to sit back and enjoy a cold one!

     @kel Fair. For me it was that, while we didn’t drink often, when I did it was always 5 or 6 beers in a sitting (I’ll do the same with soda or anything else available to me too). Just didn’t seem healthy, especially coming from a family with a history of much more serious abuse.

     @jerclarke Thanks you. Different actions are definitely something I’m learning again (I had quit entirely for years before my mom passed). The hardest thing these days is the social pressure but I’m getting better at that.
