Has anyone here stopped drinking? (self.chat)

I stopped drinking on the 18th of March 2023. Because of where I live and how my culture socialises, this was a huge step. But to be honest, in hindsight it was just something I'd been putting off for a long time. The hangovers did just become a nightmare to deal with, plus I didn't feel like I was doing well with my personal relationships because of it. I'm glad to have all that time back, although I miss part of the social aspect. I'm working on creating a sober social life but it's very early days.

How has your sobriety journey been for you?

I absolutely loved using r/stopdrinking as a resource. Now that I'm not on reddit so much I'd love to find a new community here! Has anyone created a sobriety community on the fediverse yet?

I don't drink almost at all. One of those boring people who don't drink alcohol on the weekends like a normal person. Sorry. Just don't like feeling like shit.

If you have figured this out now, congratulations. Keep taking care of your body, it's the only one you got and you can never replace it.

You can still have fun. Have a few beers. But you know, stop being an idiot and poisoning your body as much as you can (trying to see how much you can drink before you puke or pass out).
