Maybe it’s a show, a game, food, a song, or even a book, but what’s that thing you love even though you know it’s objectively bad?

Alcohol, but I’ve cut back immensely in the past 4 years. Turns out you can’t drink like you did in your 20s when you’re in your 40s and expect to feel fine the next morning. I think I’m almost at the point where I’m gonna give it up entirely, or just have it on special occasions, because it’s just not worth it anymore.
I’m in my 40s and could use a motivator to slow down a bit… Maybe I just hydrate enough to feel fine the next day lol
Easiest way to do it is just not buy it, that’s how I’ve been approaching it. Or if I do, I’ll only buy on a Friday enough to last a weekend (1 bottle of wine or a 4-6pk of cider/beer/vodka seltzer for me), and that’s it.
Easier done when you have the feeling shitty motivation the next day.
I was in the exact same boat 2 years ago. I don’t know what happened exactly, but I just decided it was time to stop. At the time it was to see how it went, and how long I could go without it. And I honestly never looked back. I feel tons better, and I’m sure I’m overall much healthier as well. And I don’t miss it or crave it anymore, except very occasionally when work gets to the “You have got be shitting me right now” level, and even then it’s not a strong craving and I just ignore it until it goes away. And the $avings!
