During the past four or so years. People have mentioned  that they plan or did the sober in January  and February  lifestyle  alterations.  I am a Joe six pack.  Meaning I have followed my parents  and the USA,s  ways of drinking to the pretty much year round , year after year.  It becomes  a far too leaned on practice.  That is in my case.  So after 2000 to 2014 when it had gotten to a very unhealthy  point.  I reduced drinking to a trickle.   I have felt realness in my total health overall.  My starting of major things is tough for me.  My entirely  completing  jobs is at times a big battle for me too.  I was a hyperactive  child in school and out of it.  Out of it in more ways than one dozen plus at least.  That was then the years 1966 to  1979.  Here I am alive and kicking in 2024 .  Very like before numbers of things in my life seem to be larger than the whole thing I must do or the chore.  Harder on the shoulders or legs or wrists  ect ect.     Hey hey  Jose that is living  humanly right ….right.   In my senior  high school years we would spend our time of the early night to 12 midnight  or close to that drinking aside the railroad tracks just off main Street. So to be near the liquor  store to buy more .  I chose blackberry brandy.  In the northeast  Winters cold  cold temperatures  required  it.  It delivered a sensation  of warmness during snows as well as shortish hikes to people’s backyards we would play rock music on the boomboxes.   This of course was at a friend’s parents  home.   It was self medicating,s origins for my group I was in at the time.  No one at all told me that it potentially  might later lead to causing me to have a colder life in the future, in a mental framework  sort of overlap concept.    Winding around and around to the present of April 23rd.  of 2024.  I have slowed things of alcohol  intake to a truer trickle.   Behavior switching a bad habit to a far less harming to ourselves is a fine trade off with additions of extra help of the powerful adding onto my   ranked    fair health.  I am  hanging in there.
