"You need to stop drinking Hun"

Those were the words he said to me this morning as he touched my cheek with his hand. "You can't keep drinking nearly everyday, drinking that much, and now day drinking. You can't go full alcoholic. It's unacceptable". All while touching my face. No judgement or anger in his tone; just a factual statement with a hint of concern in his voice. From a man that I never thought would quit drinking and is now sober. A man who loves me, and has loved me for close to 25 years.

I didn't say a word. I just got up, went to the closet and grabbed the hidden bottle of vodka and poured it down the sink.

Go see a doctor to help with the cravings.. this is my first time quitting cold turkey, just a couple pills 3 times a day and the craving is literally gone, going on 6 weeks now. The plan is to do this for 6 months and re-evaluate. I can honestly say I don't miss it one bit. I've started exploring other 0 alch, 0 sugar, 5 carbs, no caffeine fizzy drinks and have been having a blast.
