8 months ago I decided to give up alcohol for ~1 month after a few vacations to reset. waking up every day feeling great is way better than a little 🍺 so onward. If curious, give it a try

Positives:
- sleep improved, energy ⬆️
- lost fat
- mental health improved exponentially
- 👋 racing heart
- consistent HRV
- improved testosterone
- more $ to stocks

Negatives
- dopamine from one drink I do miss.
- some friendships that often included a drink have waned but still social w/ other friends

Best thing I ever did! I feel so much better in every way since stopping drinking

Congrats! I reduced/eliminated alcohol for medical reasons. Non alcoholic beer and mocktails are such a great placebo. I still have fun when out and feel great the next day

I quit 3 years ago, best decision ever! I still go out partying, have a great time dancing + no hangover the next day.

Is it fun though, to exist now?

Yup. 💯 there is a reason no one regrets giving up alcohol. Highs maybe not as high but baseline is so much more elevated and lows nowhere close

Still waiting for the benefits of sobriety to materialize. A friend of mine quit, and she looks much better now. She did drink pretty heavily though.

Need some advice here…I’m about 3 months in and a senior male associate told me to just google it when I asked him a question. I told him that hurt my feelings. After apologizing that he said that meanly but was just offering advice he has completely stopped responding to me. Was I oversensitive? Just not sure what’s going on here…

Having trouble landing a decent job, I am 4 years post bachelors, environmental science. I can not seem to land a job above minimum wage. My last position (horticultural assistant) found myself taking on a good amount of projects that were being left unfulfilled, due to coworker politics (a few co worker’s wanted to see the supervisor fall short of expectations) in addition I had difficulty with my manager( sexual harassment) I rejected their advances, and I was laid off in December
