Epiphany- I’m no longer in my 20s

I’m 37 years old, but I’m realizing my brain is stuck in my 20s. For example- my biggest concern about quitting drinking is that people will no longer think I’m fun. They’ll see me as boring and uptight. However- it has finally occurred to me that I’m pushing 40 and partying and getting drunk in public stopped being cute a long time ago. At this point in life, i feel like it is only socially acceptable to have a couple drinks with dinner and stop there. Binge drinking days should be over. So- if I can’t stop after getting a buzz from a couple drinks at dinner, what’s the point? And on the flip side, if having 2 drinks doesn’t even cause a buzz, what’s the point?

Just wanted to share in case this can help someone else. I’m currently at 18 days and it’s clear that it just makes the most sense to not drink. It does me no favors and at 37 years old I need to prove I’m fun in other ways. Alcohol shouldn’t be a contributing factor. I certainly don’t want me being drunk to become my whole personality and the way people see me.
