Alcohol ruins my routine. How do I break this pattern (question)
Hi guys,
I drank maybe 8 times the whole of last year but every time I did I got into wrong patterns including masturbation, smoking, not waking up early and not doing my meditation practice. Some of these time the alcohol involves charlie but we are not overdoing it. There have been times where I went on a 60 day continuous meditation practice but after the turn of this year I’ve been less consistent because I’ve drank 8 times already.
I m terrified that I will lose my friends which are very few if i stop drinking. Any event I goto I don’t want to seem boring or not cool enough to hang out with the rest. I know it’s a common problem faced by many but it’s so hard to say NO and not be a disappointment when your important bonds are based on having a drink.
I feel like I ll be able to do so much more with my life if I could give up and make more meaningful relationships. But I’m too fearful.
Is there a way to circumvent this habit.
Help!!
