Day 16: April 16, 2024
What are My Thoughts Today?
I think I like to drink because I have built it up as pleasurable and thus look forward to it. Looking forward to something makes it that much more exciting, increases the allure.
And I think the idea that alcohol makes hanging out with friends more fun is honestly partly because I forgot hanging out with friends is fun by itself. I am giving alcohol a lot more credit than is actually due to it! Saying that its positive effects are because of drinking, when there are really other factors involved.
The health effects are a big motivator when it comes to being alcohol free. In general I try to be healthy... So deep down I knew that drinking made no sense!! Why would I do so much damage to my body on a regular basis? I sleep way better without it already, after only two weeks. I still need to drink more water though, and I need to exercise again... But these changes will happen eventually!
