Today I have been alcohol free for 6 months! A few observations, as someone who used to drink all the time:
I am healthier and more fit than I can ever remember being, including high school and college. Being sober has enabled me to get a great exercise streak going (166 days in a row), as I can finally wake up in the morning ;)
I have a lot more time in the day. More hours are usable hours now, because there isn’t time spent trying to get over a hangover or even just being slow to get out of bed.
I haven’t missed it like I thought I would. I’ve been able to go to social events, dinners, etc without feeling like I need to have a drink. I’ve consumed A LOT of soda water and lime.
More people want to quit alcohol than you’d think. After I quit, many of my close friends did as well (or significantly reduced their consumption). I was surprised, this included people who I thought loved drinking as much as I did.
Not drinking is in the zeitgeist now. It seems like many are finally awakening to the damage alcohol does to them. There are even people seeing this as a business opportunity: cnn.com/2019/06/08/tec…
There are now over 1500 people in our Telegram community to support each other in living alcohol free. It has been great to see people connect from all over the world with each other. If you are curious, check it out: t.me/joinchat/E8rVC…
This is definitely one of the biggest life hack / productivity boosters I’ve done. Never going back!
