Have you ever felt a imaginary switch click that changed the trajectory of your life?
It could be over a few months, like a new job where one day you feel like actually going to work thinking, hey I actually like these people and don't mind working here.
Or when your friends have been super busy for months and suddenly you get matched on dating apps, old friends reach out and people want to buy your old junk on Craigslist in a single day.

May 27th, 2022 I got off work and bought a 750ml bottle of Captain Morgan. This was more or less a nightly occurence. I woke up the following morning, finished off the bottle (less than a single shot thanks to the previous night), and thought "I'm done".
Excluding the single glass of champagne and a little sip of margarita at a loved one's wedding last month, that thought has proven correct. It makes no sense to anyone who's dealt with addiction. Every day I felt myself being pulled toward the bottle, then all of a sudden that feeling was gone. The cravings are gone. Hell, I once got nauseous from friends even talking about alcohol too much.
It was like I had tried for a while to escape from a prison and eventually accepted that I'd die there. Then I woke up in an open field with no explanation. It's bizarre. I can't explain it. But you won't hear me complain.
Good for you, makes me happy
That's great!! Congrats!
