I quit nicotine and drinking 3 months ago, I feel like a different person. Was dipping like 5x a day, binge drinking once a week til the point of not moving mondays. I feel like a different person and have zero desire to do either now, srs

I'm way past due for a full sober month. I haven't done one in too long. The only minor issue is after a few days in a row of no alcohol I get strong sugar cravings for several days.

I can drink a pint of any liquor or two bottles of red wine by myself and only feel tired, no hangover. That's not a good thing.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

It is the truth. As I've gotten older, I've noticed that when I do get that urge to drink and have a few evenings of getting a nice buzz, it feels like it takes several days to a week of not drinking for my body to even start producing dopamine on its own again. It's likely partially because of the kindling effect at play from many years of abusing drugs/alcohol to where it takes much less for my mind/body to start feeling all the negative effects.

Any short term benefits are quickly offset by the psychological torment that follows, so the reward is no longer worth it. Once you cross that bridge there is no going back.

Accomplishing goals brings out the best in me.

Cutting out drinking can be a goal in itself, but it also helps with the "getting lean" goal simultaneously. Doing one is like a magnitude multiplier for the other. Saves some $$$ too, and enables you to eat a bit more since Calories from alcohol/carbs are such a waste.

IDK if I'll ever fully quit, but weed indulgence as a replacement is something that could enable me to realistically do so. But unlike weed, alcohol is always something to help take the edge off and loosen up when socializing. This is the main pro alcohol has.

Not everyone gets PAWS, but it’s not uncommon. And it’s worth noting that PAWS improves over time… becoming less severe and frequent until you are recovered

Kindling seems brutal. Especially since you are right, seems there is no going back/way to reverse it

Alcohol was a crutch for me to be social

Dropping needing it to be a part of the party is like shedding autism srs

And the big point of how amazing you feel all the time vs feeling good while drinking then acting like a tough guy who doesn’t feel how fuked up his stomach is the rest of the time is what should drive home the point.

But just keep alcohol in your back pocket as a trump card for when you really want to show life you still don’t give a fuk.

What I do now is pregame with phenibut when I’m going to go out. That way I show up buzzed af without having spent money or poisoned myself. I can sip one or two drinks over the night and stay feeling great, or have four and get fukked up, with far less net poison consumption

Phenibut stopped working for me, or at least lost its “magic”. Feelzbadman, felt so alpha and social on it

It still works for me, but in my experience you definitely have to use it infrequently. Once a week absolute max.

While it still makes me feel good and gets me loose, it definitely can’t regain that magic of the first time I ever used it. That was insane bro. I felt the most insane euphoria ever for hours and was just having the best night. Almost feels like the first time ever getting drunk

To this day, I have never experienced a more painful, torturous hangover than when one night back in '08 i combined alcohol with phenibut when going out. Never, f'ing again.
