I want to get up and go to brunch. Eat a shit ton of eggs Benedict and bottomless mimosas or perhaps bloody Mary’s...both! But those days of me getting drunk before noon are sadly passed me it seems. I feel like I can’t have fun anymore and the reason you ask ? I felt like partaking in these things meant my day was literally spent on drinking more, a nap and then waking up and doing it again.
Instead I am heading to the gym.
I want to just hang out and relax once in a while with a drink or crappy foods but I’m so fearful that will be my life again.
I know I have control and I won’t let those things control me any longer.
I don’t want people or my job to control me as well. This is my next big step to get my life in order. May seem simple to just go to the gym but this is a big step for me! I have my FS fam to thank for this.

Hey there...you sound super strong and like you are on the right track. I am a nondrinker now after being a longtime somewhat rigorous social drinker. I quit over time by myself. (When I finally realized it was not serving me or my health.)
It was easy to set it down as my addiction was more emotional than physical...my body didn’t HAVE to have it, but my wounded heart did.
What wasn’t easy was the empty hole it created, such as you describe, where my social life used to be, in a culture that lauds drinking in every setting.

My post continued...ran out of space. I discovered once I didn’t lubricate myself to go out that I am a big old homebody and a big old loner. That’s the real me!! And I’ve learned over time to enjoy and embrace this. (Great book: Party of One, Anneli Rufus)
But we are social creatures too...it takes time but if you do what you love and are passionate about, you’ll find those new social settings and tribes and the will be even better and healthier and more authentic in your life. Be patient, follow your heart, honor yourself, and yes, go to the gym. 🙂

This is a great post! You've also helped me to put things into perspective too and not letting anyone or anything control me. You are doing good.
