I told myself I wouldn’t drink alcohol the night before I go to the gym the following morning, mostly because there’s no way I could complete the workout if I was hungover. I got to the gym Tues, Thurs, Sun, so it keeps me sober at least 3 days out of the week and usually more (I have it down to drinking only 2 nights a week). So far I’ve stuck to my “deal”, which is way better than where I was a year ago (drinking every night). Nobody in my life knows I struggle with this (I think they either wouldn’t believe me because I’m “the good one” or would outright disown me because I’m so good at hiding it). It’s really hard, but I manage.

I’m currently where you were a year ago. This gave me hope - thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work man, that shit has got to be hard.
