Stop Drinking

My year so far has been interesting in regards to being more conscious about alcohol consumption. I've only had a drink on certain social occasions, so the habit is petty much gone, but I've also noticed that there's change in what I'm trying to get out of it.

Sometimes I'll be out having a drink and usually when I'd get home, I'd have another and drink rather quickly as well. Now I take my time to savour a drink and on several occasions I came home thinking I'd like another drink, but then decided against it purely because I feel there's no upside to having another.

Physically, I feel better. I have been dealing with eczema my whole life and it's never really gone, but I am noticing a drastic decrease in redness in the face. Also I'd get inflammations on the skin, sort of like zits, they have also really decreased. I always had a feeling alcohol was a large influence, I suppose now I have proof. It's just another very good reason to seriously limit the amount of alcohol I drink.

Last but not least, it's of course also a lot more financially sound. If only my wife'd quit smoking, we'd be rich in no time!
