On addiction....

I made a committment not to drink or smoke or have coffee or tea because it is part of the word of wisdom (words, I think).

Occasionally I would have a half glass of wine with a friend but since 2020 - I've been a pretty regular drinker.  In 2022 I got a better handle on things but in 2023 and since then, I recognize the pattern has begun again.

Is it habbit?  Do I like the sugar in the wine or mule?

Do I like the non-water break at the end of the day?  Could I replace it with something better?

Do I like the added 200-300 calories per day that is contributing to my other issue (weight)?

If I completely dropped drinking I could say that:

1) I have a handle on my sobriety; I am dealing with my day on my own skills.

2) I would be dropping 1400 - 2100 calories per week.

3) I'd be saving myself roughly $35 - $50 per week

What about coffee?

Swearing?

Purchasing things I don't need?

Worrying about things that don't really make me happy
