I quit alcohol buddies

Bananatropics26

I quit alcohol. I don't drink anymore. It's no good at all. My lowest point was drinking everyday for 3 weeks vodka guiding me through the day. What a waste of an existence. Alcohol literally made me stupid and emotionally weak. I would get drunk and whine about things. Idc for alcohol. Alcohol is baddddd. You really know alcohol is bad when you try drinking hard everyday for at least 2 weeks. Once you do that you'll be always turned off from it in the future. Every time I drink now it reminds me of when I drank non stop for 3 weeks and I quickly lose interest and do something else or pour it away so I've stopped buying it because I just pour it away anyways when I do buy it lol. I smoke instead that helps me think and concentrate also coffee is good instead of alcohol. But they 3 weeks were sooooo bleak and dark. Alcohol truly is an ugly drug when you really get to know it properly. Beware folks alcohol ain't all it seems.

  • Drinking everyday is not a good idea, not least because it is expensive.

    It is best to keep to 2 or 3 days a week, or less, it gives your liver a rest and time to recover. Also keep to the 14 units a week and it is not too bad. I always used the older limit of 25 units.a week as a guide.

    It affects your sleep as it interferes with REM sleep. You get to sleep, may sleep.longer, but wake up feeling tired 

    Note that women need to be more careful than men. That's not sexism, just a physical reality as cirrhosis occurs more easily.

    The problem is alcohol can be addictive, like anything you rely on including exercise, eating hit chillis, smoking.

    It'll never be banned as it's so easy to make. I used to make wine. Making spirits is illegal (for a number of reasons, tax, methanol and explosions with poor ventilation). I've never tried it  but one been to so e commercial distilleries.

    In moderation it can help as a social lubricant. Being able to relax and have fun without feeling so self conscious can be a benefit. But it's not for everyone and if you can do without it then it is better.

    Note that smoking is worse for you though. It ages your skin and damages circulation, even if you ignore the lung, mouth and throat cancer risks. The nicotine helps with focus, but there are better ways to get get that if you want it.
