I used to have to drink before social situations which is weird because I was a car salesman for years and people just assumed I was naturally outgoing.
Im not.
As I got older, alcohol got more complicated. The doom loop became apparent and I had to stop.
One day, I hadn’t had a drink in weeks and was doing really well but I had a huge dinner where I had to speak so I took a shot and my wife smelled it and asked me about it. I told her I was feeling anxious.
She said those words to me.
I didn’t know it was a famous quote.
It calmed me in a very strange way.
Oddly enough it was a catalyst for a behavioral change that was a long time coming.
In any event, thank you for sharing.
🧡👊🏻🍻
