What resource is so scarce that you would give up a social pleasure to protect it?
In this deeply personal reflection, our host shares the quiet, non-dramatic watershed moment three years ago when he decided to stop drinking. This wasn't a story of abuse or intervention - it was a simple, personal calculus: weighing the momentary social pleasure against the time cost.
Discover why the mornings after, and the feeling that time "sped up" during a few drinks, led to a deliberate act of protecting his most finite resource.
This episode is a powerful reminder that we must assert the hegemony of our goals over anything that steals our time or compromises our perspective.
