Never enough to call it a problem. Always enough to hold me back.
My story from middle-lane drinker to six years alcohol-free. No rock bottom. No lecture. Just what happened, and what changed when I stopped.
"Before I knew it, the only days I wasn't drinking were Monday and Tuesday. Ironically, they were the worst two days of my week, which I now know was mostly down to a five-day hangover."
