Interested to know if when you do make the decision to drink . Do you enjoy the rest of the day/evening with the influence of alcohol ....or is it a case that just giving into the mental struggle to not drink is the reward ?
Might sound like a strange question , but I've been contemplating this myself . I lowered the occasions of drinking by about 90% and now am analysing that final 10% . Do I actually enjoy that evening more than the sober evenings , or is it just the fact that I allow myself to have a drink which is the prize . Do I then enjoy the experience of the alcohol more than totally in control and clear minded . Preliminary study shows that I believe I enjoy the first hour the most , but then pleasure of drinking starts to drop away .
