 get some kava kava and/or valerian root. or just go full Wim Hoff 

 Gotta stay hydrated, bro. 

 same, feeling sharp. might start dry january now. 

 same. replacing old fashions with tea has been a great move. 

 my wife got me on the nightly tea ritual and it makes it a lot easier to opt out of booze. really dig starting and ending the day with a warm drink ☕️ 

 i realized i was missing out on much hydration in the evenings. Finding myself productive all the way to 22:00 instead of just headaches and tiredness. shocking 😅 

 Ah yes, the mixed feelings of
"I'm such a responsible adult"
&
"My awareness of existence is weird, I got to dampen this clarity" 

 That's not a bad thing mate, don't let the liquor drink you 

 Same here! Been substituting with orange juice and tea at night really helps 

 Have you ever though about quitting for like 3-6 months? 

 It is okay. You do you ! 

 I drink so little now that I feel noticeably terrible the next day if I do. It seriously screws with my sleep quality. 

 Alcohol does significantly impair sleep quality. Even when you drink regularly and don’t have the typical hangover effects the next day, it still results in many micro awakenings (transitions from deeper stages of sleep to lighter ones) and interferes with the restorative functions (cellular repair, short to long term memory transfer, emotional content processing, etc) that good sleep provides. The tricky part is that your brain has no memory of the micro awakenings so you think everything is fine.

Good for you for recognizing this and making good choices for your health. I’ll still have an occasional cocktail or glass of wine but limiting alcohol intake is one of the simplest and best things one can do to towards better health. 

 Thanks Doc. 

 It’s way better honestly 

 GABA. Gamma Amino Butyric Acid, Supplements are for sale at Whole Foods, Sprouts, Vitamin Cottage, Natural Grocers. Alcohol releases GABA in the brain to induce relaxation. Your body produces GABA in the small intestine during REM pattern sleep. When you drink too much your body stops producing GABA naturally and this induces alcohol addiction. Supplements help to keep a balance of enjoyment and non addiction, Or to help you relax when you go totally sober.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit

 Here, have some whiskey, 🥃! 
Just kidding! 

That probably means you may want to consider taking a break from alcohol! 

 Haven't had a drink in 5 months now, and I love it. Did karaoke recently, first time ever I did it sober. Feels bloody liberating man!
