I gave up drinking for lent and I gotta say it feels amazing!! I had a few slip ups in the beginning (I will repent) but it has now been a week and a half of 0 alc and I already feel the positive effects: better sleep, more consistent with my routine, improved energy, focus, and mood. I don’t think total sobriety is a goal for me but it’s nice to take breaks and rewire the social reliance. If you’ve been looking for a sign to take a break here it is: 🪧
I try to only have 2, maybe 3 drinks max now when I go out and it’s made a big difference. I’ve noticed it in my body but also in my mind: I have horrible hangxiety so avoiding the hangover altogether has done wonders for my mental health. Physical health feels better too.
