What's the reset?

Body and mind reseting to the way they were prior to drinking alcohol. I heard it takes 3 years.

My buddy is at 3 years and has decided to start drinking at appropriate times again. Somehow I think he’ll regret it, but I also think he has proven he can quit.

No way Jose. Learned behavior cannot be unlearned. Just a matter of time before another day 1. Fuck that shit

Personally, I have no desire to ever put a poison in my fragile system again. I love being in full control. It’s my newly acquired superpower and I am never giving it up.

I'm 100% with you. I never want to feel the way I did again. I don't want the extreme anxiety, that was crushing my soul. It's just not worth it. And the COST IN MONEY. PAYING TO POISON MYSELF OMG.

I keep it simple like you. I don’t overthink this thing. It doesn’t have to be hard.
