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?

Oh that's a good activity too. I've been pausing on the alcohol for two months now... There's plenty of nice non-alcoholic choices in the places I go to, and as a bitter fan I just get crodino spritz  while my friends drink their wines.

I did notice though that I also just go home earlier because being the sober one in a group of drunk people who won't remember much next day is just not the greatest time in most cases 😂🤷

Very true :)

Probably the best part as a morning person for me has been... My mornings. 

Also in autumn early morning walks you sometimes catch the sunset all in fog. Very nice experience.

yeah… but actually i realized how few good memories are ever actually made while drunk. idk, my best memories are from like…hikes and traveling.  like it’s nice for a bit to be able to relax via a drink, but ultimately i’d rather wake up feeling fresh the next day
