 quitting alcohol is probably the best thing i've done in quite a while 
 but don't tell it @ralf  🤓 
 matter of personal preference 💜 
 that was meant more as a joke, it's great! 
 Proud of you. 
🫂💜 
 Yay! Proud of you 👏🏻 
 Oh damn, nice! How long have you been alcohol-free? The benefits get even more profound over time (I'm 1.5 yrs in myself). 
 i don't really even know, i don't keep track much, last time i drank was in tokyo i suppose

have you really quit it, if you're still counting? 
 💯 
 You reading my mind dear Tanel 🫡 
Rly needed to stop with beer habbit for the healthier future, so wish me luck 🍀🙏
Also I started more vaporizing zaza in my Migty, than old good burning(detox from the Δ9-Thc is next on the list).

Young generations are the future, so we need to be healthy 💜 https://image.nostr.build/6bbded21b5b0030e81018b00b14d6c1288fd5bca2e7e547301d407a4a2ef42ae.jpg  
 weed is not for me, so have disregarded it for myself 

as long as you happy and healthy 💜 
 Ne vous laissez surtout tenté par la mauvaise herbe c'est encore pire  
 💜 
 Keep it up, best decision I ever made.  
 Bravo! 9+ years here. Game changer! 
 Wow 🤩 Congrats 🎈 
 Congrats to those on day 1 or early on! Those are the inspiration ✨

Go Tanel Go 🦋 
 Beautifully put 💜

Thank you for the kind words Amanda 🤗 
 There is a massive parallel with sobriety and plebs. 
 In fact I think we would see different reactions on facebook. E.g. - I bet that there would be boomers with reactions like that- 
“You are only a weak one, bcs alcohol is not that much dangerous, you just need to handle it”🤣🤣

On other side, we can see ostriches here who still drinking, that they are not laughing at @5c508c34 but they are wishing him luck or they are glad that dry way works for him. 

That’s amazing for me as a pleb from old boomer country, where we drink most in Europe, so if you’re alcohol free, they will laughs at you here in bar like that-
“What are you fucking doing here, you need to get drunk in bar or go home”

Glad I’m here on the #Nostr 🌞 
 Good plan. I quit 10 years ago, best decision ever 👍 
 Glad to hear, a bunch of clarity and stability 💜 
 Good 4 U! 
 drinking a G&T right now, and will have another! Glad being dry works for you. 
 it's a matter of preference, it just seems to work for me the best 💜

 That's great! 
 I don't miss alcohol as much as I miss sushi #momstr

yes, I could have eaten sushi during my pregnancy. I have never been ill from sushi and where I live it is probably as fresh as it gets. I still didn't want to risk it so I haven't eaten raw fish for the past 9 months.

I could really go for a chirashi bowl when this baby comes out 🤤

 didn't know there are risks to eating raw fish, could you elaborate? 🤔💜 
 mostly food borne illness and parasites. namely listeria. basically, you don't want to get food poisoning while you're pregnant cuz it dehydrates you immensely and could increase the risk of miscarrying.

it usually isn't a problem if the fish is fresh and safely processed.  
 oh wow, didn't know that 😳

thank you for educating me 💜 
 Have some mercy. Don't kill. Nature has given us so much to eat 
 Yes, you have done the right thing. Alcohol is not only bad at the body level. It is extremely bad for the mental and mind level. Our goal should be to improve our awareness of present moment and alcohol is inversely proportional to it

 It’s a life changer! 
 It has been for me 💜 
 Glad to hear 🙌🏼 
 Ravie tanel pour vous.. 💜♾️🫂 
 Speaking anecdotally, a single shroom trip can effectively help you abstain from most addictive substances. 
 Hmm, how come? 
 Explaining doesn't do it justice; it's simply an experience that must be undergone to understand what I mean.

If you do decide to partake, I advise starting with micro-dosing before attempting larger doses -- though there's nothing wrong with larger quantities for first-timers (it's really up to you). Additionally, I highly recommend having an experienced user to guide you on your journey.

When you feel comfortable enough, experiencing it alone is where the real magic begins! 
 Amen!!! 
 👍 One of the best decision I ever made. 8 y + now 
 incredibly happy for you 💜

i just do whatever makes feel happy and fulfilled 
 Yup, it's going to be ten for me later this year. 👍 
 I had 3 beers on Friday night, tried to go to bed at 10pm, and barely slept. My body was probably too hot. Such a shitcoin. 
 what changed? I'm avoiding alcohol for the month of March
so far I'm not noticing much but it's early 
 stability and clarity 
 Better sleep for sure 
 I get more creative ideas and can actually actualise them 
 Il abîmé nos fonctions cognitives sans oublier le reste et ses effets  
 Good for you! 💜 
 thank you for the kind words connie 💜 
 Yeah 👍🏼 happy for you 
 that's awesome! how many glasses/beers were you having a day?  
 only whenever i was at parties, but even that happens once every 4-5 months, so i just felt like why even do it

feels like a waste 
 Had a similar mindset. I went from 2 cocktails a month to 2 mocktails a month 🤷‍♀️ 
 C'est ce que l'on nomme l'alcoolisme récréatif trop dangereux sur le long terme  
 thing I noticed the most was sleep quality closing in on 100% 
 good choice - im off 4 years. best decision 
 💪 
 same 🤙 
 same! almost 5 years now 
 🫡 
 Same!! 🫡 
 Does beer count? 
 anything that contains alcohol counts 
 good for you dood 
 I think quitting daily or almost daily weed smoking is even more helpful  
 ya quit the buds a couple years ago, and the alky more recently. both have been huge game changers in every aspect of my life. 

power to ya 
 I'm 15 months without and feeling great 👍  
 Same 
 I am considering doing this but I haven’t committed yet. 
 What?! 
 Wait till you quit sugar, wheat and alike, and balance zinc, C, and D3, and prioritize beef and fish, supplemented by daily excercise. 
Just be aware there are much less gods than mortals and adjust your social life expectations accordingly.  
 Once you really understand these realms and are over with dealing mentally with the change (and it does not come cheap nor easy nor believable at first) it is actually much more fun. 
 Im trying 🙃 
 I’ve been off carbs for a long time but for a recent vacation decided to eat them again. Promptly caught a cold! I never get sick! So back to basics. No more carbs. 
 I exercise CrossFit to help with my fights 💪  
 I don't know you but it could become the greatest thing you will ever do for yourself. 
 great to read this, i'm with you.  
 I did the same after an uninterrupted series of crazy Bitcoin conferences last year. Has been going extremely well for me. 
 such a fiat thing, to tell everybody 
 I'm on that wagon with you right now. About 3 days into Lent I decided to cut out all alcohol. Except for sharing a bottle of wine and a scotch at a restaurant for my wife's birthday, I haven't had a drop. 

I'll wait until Easter and see what happens. 
 I only drink champagne now, best move ever 🤙 
 Decided to quit on my last birthday — best present I got all year 
 Congrats on helping yourself, that’s a big deal and wonderful to hear. 
 Approaching my one year of being alcohol free and converted all of that money that would have been spent on craft beer into sats. Keep it up! 
 👏👏👏👏👏 
 I'll #zap to that! Cheers! 
 🎯  
 I start today
