Probably dead by 50 from one means or another, so not concerned really. Here for a fun time, not a long time.

Either heart attack or stroke from stress, liver failure, maybe kidney failure will get me is what I'm betting.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

Sobriety only sucks if your a loner.

I obviously don’t drink when I go to sea and neither does anyone else. But we all live together and get into working out and being healthy and the community I have makes me not even think about any substance. You need to keep yourself busy hombre. Only you can learn how to fill your time with more valuable and fulfilling experiences then drinking. No one is going to do it for you. Good luck.

You have to eliminate anything dark as far as alcohol. That is the real killer. Beer. Whiskey. Even rum.

Stay with vodka 100% and you should never have an issue. No hangovers and the effects on the body are not near as bad.

The key is staying hydrated with a nice mix of healthy drinks along with that. Not sugary drinks. Healthy drinks.

What I do is drink one giant giant GIANT shot of vodka with a healthy ginseng mixer from S Korea to get a nice buzz. I then mix vodka with a combo of watermelon/ginger/blueberry/apple juice along with some gatorade and even some of my High Vit C and high lysine and Zinc pre workout in with it.

Then just sip that all night. You will get a nice buzz but never too drunk and you will never have a hangover. You could literally drink that combo almost every day if you wanted to. (not rec)

Sobriety only sucks if you let it suck. A life of successful recovery involves more than just basic sobriety/cutting out substances.

Yea I usually stick to vodka anyway for this reason. I'm not prone to hangovers, so not really an issue for me. I'm mostly doing this sober thing to reset my tolerance and repair my brain

If youve been in full blown addiction, you need to give time for your brain to heal. Forgets how to produce dopamine on its own from simple pleasures. Also, alcohol is like the most damaging drug, just because it's legal doesn't mean chit
Uncontrollable behavior with some psychopathic tendencies

It’s pretty weak compared to benzos, but if it helps me not drink then it’s the drug for me (prescribed by my doctor, taken in recommended dose)
