Sometimes it not about feeling better, it’s about not feeling worse

I’ve realised one of the biggest triggers I had with drinking is the idea of ‘feeling better.’ I have a great life, however whenever I stop drinking I have this idea that I’m going to magically wake up full of energy for work, start working out, rise with the sun every morning etc

What I’ve realised is when I stop drinking I don’t always magically feel better, instead half of the time it can be quite the battle with trying to get rid of the poison that I have yet again put in my body. However; drinking again can only make me feel worse, and however I feel today will always be made worse by drinking.

Am I tired and a bit stressed? Sure, but I’d rather be that then add a hangover and the dreaded hangxiety to being tired and stressed!
