literally yesterday a book changed my mind about how much alcohol I'm comfortable consuming

since I've started getting horrible hangovers in my 30s I've limited myself to 1-2 drinks in one evening, once a month or so, and that worked for me

the book detailed how alcohol absolutely wrecks your sleep. yeah i think I'm done drinking for the rest of my life now lol

    Congratulations. You have had one of the healthiest epiphanies you will ever have. I relate very much, although I am probably twice your age. I wish I had that realization 30 years ago.

    If you ever have a strong urge to drink again, if it's legal where you are, a light dose of THC might satisfy you instead. It's not for everyone, but that's worked very well for me.

    Again, congratulations. Getting away from alcohol is a move so healthy, you should be proud of yourself for it.

    thanks :]

    ah, i enjoyed THC when I got to try it in a legal state. sadly psychosis runs in my family and I decided even that much fun wasn't worth the risk

    I'm very lucky I'm nerdy enough to get "high" off of just goofing around with friends (and lucky I have the friends!)
