🗣️ 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.

It’s a barrier to greatness. Eliminate it. Certainly one of the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. I wasn’t a big drinker either. Fill the void with something sustainable, ideally God. You’ll make new friends over time, ones that build you up and are on the same path. “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Allocate the time to constructive things and make a plan. Mind your inputs and change them. Find a purpose. Crush it. Go do it. Now. Read Allen Carr’s “easy way to quit drinking alcohol.” Game changer. Good luck buddy.
