I committed to giving up alcohol for 30 days about 5 years ago. After thirty days, I decided I didn't want to start again.

Congratulations! Game changer when this one goes from the body, mind and soul! You got this!

I think I’m having the same feeling about it.

The thing I find is that when people count they are abstaining, like battling the mind using willpower to deprive themselves of something. Its good to set goals but if you can stay present you realise you already have everything and alchohol can only take away from that so you in fact you are the opposite of deprived 🙃

Pretty pic!

Congrats on forming new, good habits! I wish you and your family the best!

Alcohol.just vanished from my life somehow. I was never a fan of being intoxicated and once i committed to just 3 beers on an evening i got disconnected with the vibe all these heavy drinkers around me produced and so I stopped going and then at some point i found myself drinking like maybe 5 beers a year and not until this year did i make the conscious decision to just stop completely. Habits are awesome and i thrive on them so hard. It gave me new motivations to try stuff that i find hard. Actually today i celebrated 4 weeks of doing specific mobility exercises that i looked up to every morning because i hate doing them. But it is because they hit the exact spot that made me feel weak. I made a physical paper calendar and explained it to my kids that i struggled and they needed to check in on me i did it every day. I felt i could not disappoint them so i ploughed through and did them. I feel no noticable improvements yet but i know it can take months so i am once again going to commit to another 4 weeks of doing them. Thanks for sharing your results. They resonate so much with me. 🫂

That is so great to hear. It’s not so much that I don’t want to drink, it’s that I don’t want to want to drink. I’m sorta hacking at the root of the tree rather than simply trying to prune it.

Healthier ways ~

Congrats on this.

Congratulations! And what a great view
