I tried to explore other avenues online with no avail so I figured why not ask the question here.
To begin my life was in a negative place for quite some time, however, it is headed in a positive direction. I took a detour into a breakup, a job that I hated and left, and felt rather directionless. Since then I have been hitting the gym, joined yoga classes, reconnected with old friends. Better I'm about to start a new career in the field that I got my degree in.
That being said I'll get to the point. I've noticed that I have used alcohol to self medicate for many years of my adult life. But more importantly I have noticed a trend, that I prefer to drink alone. When I am in a social situation that encourages indulging in drinking I feel vastly less inclined to do so. I was pondering why that is and if any of you have felt the same way?
I've just been reflecting on life as I turn a new leaf. And why it has been alluring to break into a case on a weekday night by myself but I don't feel the same urge at a New Years party.
