'I take a break from drinking whenever I feel like I'm losing a grip on my reason for doing it.'
I think they're looking for an easy answer. A simple one-liner that will make them feel more comfortable in their own decision to imbibe. Answers likeor"Whole30" are the easiest to give, as they don't invoke many additional questions. But my reasons for stepping away from drinking at this point in my life live on a much deeper level. The answer lies somewhere along the journey of trying to understand and better myself.
I first started experimenting with drinking in high school, as I think is the case for many people. In college, the dabbling quickly escalated into a priority, a way of life. I was a"drinker" — always down to have a drink, go out drinking, and stay for one more. Having come from a family of drinkers and boozy friend circles, I started to question how much of it was a proactive choice for me.That mindset traveled with me after college well into my 20s. I had a regular — albeit very fun — drinking routine almost every weekend, packed with nighttime bar hopping and beachside day drinking. I didn't even mind the hangovers then.
Now, I take a break from drinking whenever I feel like I'm losing a grip on my reason for doing it. As soon as it starts to slip into a gray area of insecurity or escape, I take a step back. I give myself space to reset and bring my"why" back into a healthier place. Is that something I can easily sum up in an answer? Should have to? I don't think so.
