    There’s a South Park episode about the alcohol industry relying on ten percent of their buyers being alcoholics. That was me until a month ago. But I quit because it was now rampantly destroying my body in ways that severely affected me, even when sober. I’d keep drinking if I could.

    Oh well, more money in my pocket. And more mental energy for nerd projects, which I’d long wanted to get back to anyway.

      Congrats! The first month is the hardest. Come check out stopdrinking@lemmy.world, if you haven’t already.

      When I started, I listened to many hours of the Happy Sober Podcast. Craig Beck does a good job of exposing the tricks alcohol plays on the brain.

      Keep it up! It gets easier.
