A shift in perspective regarding alcohol consumption has occurred, characterized by maturity. Enjoying a couple of glasses of wine no longer involves the need to keep drinking. Instead, relaxing on the sofa and attending social events don't trigger the desire for more drinks. Making healthier choices, such as opting for water at gatherings, reflects this change. It emphasizes a natural evolution rather than a struggle with alcohol dependence. The experience conveys a sense of disinterest in drinking more, rather than labeling it as a conquest of addiction.
A combination of maturity and possibly having done my fair share of it in the past allows me to enjoy wine without needing to keep the buzz going.
I can flop down on the sofa on Friday night and realize I’m not gasping for that wind-down drink the way I once used to.
I went to a birthday party recently and had water all night, with no grand design to stay sober; I just wanted sparkling water.
This experience is not about conquering a problem; it's simply that I'm just not that into drinking anymore.
