felt sort of low and snappy today ,now after a bottle of cider feel great ,when i think about it i cant remember a week i havnt had a drink in over 20 years, think the feel good bits of my brain have sort of come to depend on it , thing is i think i should give up but just dont want to
so thats me a weak willed alchoholic maybe, but could you give up? or want to give up? i mean look at freshers week arnt you taught that alcohol is the way to enjoy your social life ? look at big brother they get a task right and they are rewarded by alchohol. anyway thats it ,just thinking
 
well nothings changed , must have enough brain cells left, not destroyed by alcohol that i remembered the thread, its all covered in the on the wagon thread, weird i randomly remembered it

A year after redundancy so i will have been working on a day/night blend continental shift my body clock was everywhere, 4 years to my last ever mortgage payment (started 03)
i really would give myself a good slap if i could go back, not so much for drinking more for taking relationships for granted
 
I think my biggest issue is I enjoy it so damn much, I think if I had a default good mood it may be different but I get a massive dopamine rush or whatever it is, think my brain is hardwired now.
I.also believe my red wine has benefits, I was politely booted out of the on the wagon thread as that's where people what help and reassurance not been told they may be missing out on some benefits

There are lots of things that contribute to being in a good mood, and it is something you can analyse and work on. Alcohol is certainly NOT required. I would say the main ones are getting enough sleep and not overthinking about things, as this allows the brain to relax and you feel good.

Another way to get into a good mood is to take some light exercise, or to do an engaging hobby where you can get into "flow".

Your brain is not hardwired, it can always adapt. I would suggest working on ways to maintain a good mood, and alcohol should not be involved.

Exercise isn't an issue as I get massive amounts, sleep ,yes that is an issue.as is overthinking but not wanting to give up is the reason I won't, I love to walk and surf but I also love a drink, I think moderation is the best I will do
