I have cut back, not eliminated completely, although the trend is in that direction. Whenever tempted I focus completely on the fact I never regret not having drunk anything. That I will feel great having clear head. It’s the opposite from imagining a certainty of lost sleep, fuzzy head, and feeling the subconscious worry I will hedonistically miss out on anything. The key is two things: 1. to realize how certain you can be, 100% for practical purposes. Absolute. 2. And that not drinking is the hedonistically best choice. It’s not about withholding some pleasure from myself, it’s about not letting anything get in the way of my all day clear headed pleasure. 3. So I absolutely, with complete certainty, know I will not regret, not having the drink in front of me. My interest in alcohol keeps instantiating further below where I think any discipline I have is. I hope that makes some sense and helps someone.
