sober october is going great tbh; i feel really well and i’ve taken up chess as an alternative evening activity. i still go to the pub, i just drink apple juice instead 😆 it was difficult the first couple of weeks because as an introvert i’m used to having a drink as a crutch. now it feels kind of empowering because if i don’t like a situation i just go straight home 🤔 i feel a lot more in tune with myself. 

for everyone else who embarked on this journey with me, how is it going?

I stopped drinking in 2020 as a New Year resolution, and was a mandatory kind-of total abstinence, at first. Today I can have a glass of wine if I want to, no problems at all. I feel younger, smarter, healthier, the day brights and I go to sleep way earlier and rest way better. Best choice ever!
