Heh, suffice to say at this juncture, smoking and vaping are both evidently things of my past. I can officially resign them to the pile along with all manner of other unsavoury addictions I've managed to overcome.
That is to say, I still remain nicotine free since 31/12/2021. My count stands at:
I already knew I was a resolute person, yet I remain impressed by my fortitude. I am confident that this will be an achievement I boast about with pride for a long time to come! 🏆
Now, as for alcohol...
Last I wrote about this, I had foolishly and heavily indulged on 09/04/2022 for my brother Matt's birthday. I had got absolutely shitfaced and subsequently regretted it. I immediately recommitted to abstinence, but admittedly I went into it once more with reservations; to quote myself:
"I'll be the first to admit, I doubt quitting alcohol will be permanent."
Had I stayed off the booze since then, the count for zero alcohol would stand at an impressive:
Alas, as you can likely deduce from the above, I have admittedly drank alcohol since, though to caveat, it was only 50ml of Irish Cream as a toast at the Celebration of Life for my dearly departed Nana.
Now, to some people, they may think ehh, disregard that - your count above still stands. It was extenuating circumstances, just a ceremonial drink like communion, or something of that ilk. I know those excuses have all found footholds in my own mindset too, yet I must dismiss them.
I consciously and knowingly drank alcohol. I did not have too. In my mind, my count reset that day, meaning my actual current tally for no alcohol currently stands at:
Still impressive given my past consumption habits, and I am still proud of myself for how I've heavily moderated my drinking, and redressed my relationship with alcohol so far in 2022.
Two months left to go, including Christmas and New Year. Let's see if I can finish off strong.
Cheers.
