On 1st December 2009, I posted “I’ve Given Up Drinking Part I”.
It’s been almost five months now and my commitment to my decision is unquestionable. Like anything in life, it hasn’t been easy but I don’t have any regrets. Not one.
In fact, even on my most challenging days I know that turning to the bottle wasn’t the answer. It’s the one thought process that will always stop me. It’s never easy to make a permanent change, but I knew that if I could give up smoking all those years ago cold turkey then I could certainly do this. Nothing in life worth having ever came easy. That’s just how it is whether we like it or not.
Tough love is often a blessing in disguise, as is the case for me. I didn’t like it, but I knew I had to do it. Often we have to do things in life that we don’t like, but if it’s in our best interest then it’ll pay off in the end. All good decisions do.
So I do the best that I can do with the circumstances I have and hope that that is enough.
