I stopped drinking

Sometimes the idea of reaching our goals (especially those secret goals we mostly keep to ourselves) can seem impossible. (Ryan Engelstad on Medium)

Ahead of every important change in life there is an idea:

I want this,

I am firmly decided to do this,

I make this change in my life because it’s important for my health, for my loved ones, for my future, etc.

For instance, I had for several decades this (bad) habit to drink a bottle of wine or a few litres of beer every Friday and every Saturday. I said to myself that I deserved it, it was so good to feel “lifted” by the alcohol.

Then, the idea grew in my mind and became important:

What was I doing?

What did I do to my body?

What did I do to my relationship, my family?

I was rarely drunk, okay. But I had those beers. Every week! I was intoxicating my body, week after week, year after year.

So I stopped. The idea had grown and became mature.

The moment was there: Now I drink water and non-alcoholic beer.

And it is so easy!

I don’t miss the mist before my eyes and in my mind.

I can think, I can write and stay productive, instead of lacking the inspiration and the ability to create.
