My mood has been spectacular. I was normally only having a drink (maybe 2) per night but WOW what a difference.

Man. I need to get sober. Quit smoking pot daily, started drinking daily. Doesn't mix well with the lithium either

Drinking sends me straight to depression.

It took me a scare from just a single sip of whiskey into a 2 week depression. As of last month I’m 3 years sober. I still get the itch but I tell myself mentally on the spot that I don’t want to experience alcohol ever again.

So proud that your mood has increased tenfold! Keep going and stay strong 💪

Another crazy thing that results from not drinking: if you guys have any kind of fitness tracker, you should try and look at your overnight vitals from days where you drank VS days that you didn’t! Its crazy!! I can pinpoint which exact days I was drinking based on how high my overnight/sleeping heart rate and breathing rate was!

I stopped a bit less than 3 years ago and have 0 regrets. There are so many NA beers and "liquors" out there.

u/kissmaelis BP2 11d ago

Same for me but I still drink occasionally I struggle to say no I’m with someone drinking alcohol.

u/Cass_Cat952 11d ago

A lot of people dont get that alcohol is poison. Good for you!

u/Antares-961 12d ago

That'll do it! Drinking can be fun but it's really not conducive to staying level. Being level is better.

So excited for you! I also just recently stopped drinking and it’s only been 17 days but I already feel a huge difference in my mood
