Alcohol.just vanished from my life somehow. I was never a fan of being intoxicated and once i committed to just 3 beers on an evening i got disconnected with the vibe all these heavy drinkers around me produced and so I stopped going and then at some point i found myself drinking like maybe 5 beers a year and not until this year did i make the conscious decision to just stop completely. Habits are awesome and i thrive on them so hard. It gave me new motivations to try stuff that i find hard. Actually today i celebrated 4 weeks of doing specific mobility exercises that i looked up to every morning because i hate doing them. But it is because they hit the exact spot that made me feel weak. I made a physical paper calendar and explained it to my kids that i struggled and they needed to check in on me i did it every day. I felt i could not disappoint them so i ploughed through and did them. I feel no noticable improvements yet but i know it can take months so i am once again going to commit to another 4 weeks of doing them. Thanks for sharing your results. They resonate so much with me. 🫂

That is so great to hear. It’s not so much that I don’t want to drink, it’s that I don’t want to want to drink. I’m sorta hacking at the root of the tree rather than simply trying to prune it.
