  My best friend and I quit drinking in 2022, and it has been life-changing for both of us! E-mail me at hello@taylor.town if you're looking for tips or support :)

    How much did you drink before, and how has it changed your life?
    • surprisetalk 4y ago
      I consistently drank 4-6 cups of wine/beer per day for ~5 years. A few major ways it changed my life: 1. I suddenly lost weight! Drinking calories makes it difficult to stay healthy. My friends and family noticed my weight loss before I told them about my sobriety. 2. I make better decisions in group settings. I no longer stay at social gatherings where I'm bored while sober, and I don't embarrass myself nearly as often. 3. Sobriety adds an extra 1-3 hours to my days. It's unsurprising that a CNS depressant sapped my motivation and energy! 4. No more chronic heartburn! No more headaches! --- [1] https://taylor.town/8-weekends https://taylor.town/8-weekends

    Very kind of you to offer. Its been a gradual process from me, my heavy drinking started 30+ years ago. Only puzzle left to solve is how to turn my brain off during mega work hectic/busy times. So far that has almost involved booze or effectively no sleep as my brain continues to work on work issues whilst I'm trying to get to sleep.
