Nal has changed my relationship with alcohol in such a way that I don’t feel like I’m an alcoholic anymore trying to manage my disorder.
It’s generally said that most alcoholics are alcoholics for life, but just “non active”. Like if you ever have a drink you have a predisposition to not stop and spiral.
This isn’t a diet. I’m not wanting an alcohol buzz and just abstaining from it. I’m just not in to it. I like to have a drink and think I still kind of look forward to it, but it stops there. I’m craving food more than the next drink.
It really does feel like it changes your brain and you aren’t the same person anymore in regards to alcohol. I no longer feel like an alcoholic and I’m not scared of having a drink or not having a drink. It just doesn’t matter much anymore.
Also, I just stopped my blood pressure meds completely and my anxiety is pretty much nonexistent. Turns out that yeah, it was the booze all along.
