![]() between my husband and I and our incredibly high tolerance, well, we were making excuses for spending so much on booze. ![]() AND we've discovered we're saving $15 every other day. i remembered to lock the cars ! I am 100% more productive and am just wondering why I felt the need to self medicate my life when it was infinetely so sweeter without that crap. Im going on 7 days and man, I just cannot express how wonderful it feels to fall asleep on my own, wake up on my own feeling like i slept! I have tons of energy, remember everything I said and did LAST night, right down to my posts on facebook (oh the stuff I posted while imbibing, owch). Im only 3/4 of the way through his book but stopped cold turkey about 1 chapter in and havent missed the mess. How controlled I have been all of this time! Just like his logic with the smoking book (which I quit smoking 3.5 years ago with this book!) he makes so much sense in that the very stress you are trying to drink away will STILL be there when the booze are gone and the hangover kicks in! Only making your day so much worse. My life has been- go the beach (pack the beers!) go out to dinner (lets have a drink!) wedding reception (wheres the wine?) friends are coming over for a bbq (stock up the liquor cabinet!). The daily alcohol consumption actually created a greater need for the stuff, along with bringing my anxiety and mild depression to the surface like a red hot pimple. Snapping at my kids, mumbling under my breath, overall feeling like crap and yet- id been brainwashed all these years to think that 5:00 meant "time to drown my stress when I get home" again! How stupid I have been. What a fisade to play through that, day in and day out. For the past 9 years I have been unable to go more than a day without drinking myself into a hazy fog, only to fall asleep and wake up the next morning dehydrated, irritable, moody, bloated and feeling as though I never went to sleep. Carr hit home when I read in this book -"when did we ever confuse everyday responsibility with stress?"- that really made me open my eyes. I am a legal secretary for a law firm, married with 3 kids and a highly functioning alcoholic who has conditioned myself to drink daily to deal with the stress of my life. This book was bought out of sheer desperation as ive found nothing that has helped me cut down or cut out the alcohol. Following the Easyway™:? You will not need willpower?
