I've been failing (lemmy.world)

I based my IWNDWYT in lifting and eating healthier, and for a few months it worked, but around a month ago some things happened that made it impossible... And I've been failing since. Not drinking was just part of the package, so it's completely tied with those things that I still can't do, but I don't know, it feels like it wasn't that hard to stop and suddenly it is. And it's not like I'm a horrible person when I drink... But I should do better, be better... I don't know, maybe I'm just a hypocrite, talking to myself, typing to the void of the internet while having a beer and thinking that I shouldn't... but I whish I didn't like drinking and wasn't doing it right now...

Will power is an expendable resource. It's hard enough to give up one thing, let alone everything.

If you quit once, you can do it again. I found when I first quit it was really helpful to do the daily check in and post about whatever I was thinking. It's not the void of the internet if there are people listening: it's a community.
