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 It had to stop.

One day, I hadn’t had a drink in weeks but I had a huge dinner where I had to speak so I took a shot. My wife smelled it on me 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.

🧡👊🏻🍻
