Part 7/9:
So how did I transition away from drinking? I adopted a low-pressure approach, treating it as a casual experiment rather than a monumental decision. Beginning with a mere week of sobriety made the process manageable.
I also sought replacement options that affirmed my choices. Not overemphasizing my decision to stop drinking allowed me to navigate this shift without external pressures. Understanding my motivations for drinking prompted deeper reflection about my habits and emotional health, which proved beneficial along my journey.
