Been lurking reddit for years, discovered SD and had to finally get a screen name.

I just want to not drink when I am alone at night anymore. I don't mind cracking a few if I'm with company, and all that. I really enjoy that. But every night, I have noticed really being fiendish about making sure I drink at least 2 or 3 24 oz after the sun goes down. The binge drinking in my early to mid 20's was pretty wreckless and have caused a lot of negative things to happen throughout the years, and I see myself in the past two weeks really putting a lot of stress on drinking those night time beers. Even though it's just me alone at the apartment, nothing to celebrate really. Just drinking for the buzz, because it's part of my ritual before I sleep. Even though I know that alcohol messes with our proper sleep cycles. This is nice, a place to come, to share goals like this. I'm going to come here to type when I need the strength. If I could cut out the drinking that I do by myself, it would be rad, and it's a big goal for me right now.

If it's not clear, no beers tonight! Looking forward to some spring in my step in the morning.

Congrats. Keep it social, if you can. Drinking alone is no fun, as I'm sure you already know.
