I will be a year on 2/1/2025. I say I stopped on solidarity with my wife as she had to stop because of new medicine. But really, after 10 hard years of grinding, I was drinking 2 bottles of wine a night, having 4-5 Bourbon & waters when I wasn't drinking wine, and spending about $300/wk when we would go out.
We dropped all 8 wine club memberships, threw out all the liquor, donated about 70 bottles to family members. Wife's medication helped and I stopped being depressed because she wasn't so fucking sick and I could ACTUALLY hang out with her. I also dropped 35 lbs, my skin is better, and I sleep now. Also, sexy time is a possibility.
I don't need to say it, but I WILL NOT DRINK WITH YOU TODAY. (IWNDWYT). I love my wife and myself too much to go back.
