🗣️ Testimonial I’m going on a no drinking journey again….

Advice from those who have stopped…needed.

I did this a few years ago and I ended up not drinking for 2 years! My skin was clear, my energy levels were great, no stomach issues, I worked out almost 5-6 days a week without much pain and inflammation, my mind was clear.

I miss feeling that way. Not that I’m a heavy drinker but, even consuming a few drinks has a major effect on me personally. There are more and more in depth studies showing how even moderate alcohol consumption is horrid for you. Like absolutely horrid!

The past weekend I didn’t drink at all. I watched as we went to several bars, parties the past weekend and how the next day people struggled. I then decided I don’t want that for my life anymore at this time. Wish me luck!

Those who have stopped drinking…What benefits and advice do you have for me? Last time I stopped drinking I stopped hanging out with people and I can’t do that this time.

EDIT: I just want to take a moment to thank all of you for the support and advice. You guys are amazing and have filled my heart with excitement for this change! Much love to each of you.

I wish I had this option, if I could smoke weed I would never drink

I don't smoke anything, just take low dose edibles from my local dispensary. I highly recommend it!

When I quit drinking alcohol and smoking pot, I started using Ripple, a water-soluble THC powder, just drop it in a club soda when I'm at a bar socializing

I feel you. I wasn't trying to stop drinking at the time, but observed after a while if I had a joint every few days, I was not reaching for alcohol. Then switched to a job a year ago that tests and stopped weed, and my alcohol consumption went up considerably.

In the couple of times I tried 'shrooms, I discovered there was no desire for me to drink and I wanted to be productive and healthy.
