Nov. 29, 2022 – I would see that I did not meet the criteria for substance use disorder (SUD) and rationalize that I was overthinking. The problem was the more I restricted my drinking, the more intense my Friday nights became. I privately worried about the blackouts in my 40s that I rarely had in my 30s.
On Nov. 3, 2021, the day I came back from Mexico, my worry was unavoidable. The quiet whisper that I should get curious about sobriety became a roar. To be clear, there was no rock bottom in Mexico. I didn’t come back with a crazy tattoo or a sexually transmitted infection. I simply decided “I can’t do this anymore.”
Enough is a decision — not an amount.
