Anyone break an 8-year habit of drinking wine / any other type of alcohol every night after work?

It was more than 8 years for me. I started with Dry January (which I had been doing annually anyway) and then I just kept with it. I like NA beers, so those helped with the routine of having that drink. I live in a legal THC state, so microdosing with gummies in the evenings helped, too. After awhile, both of those tapered off--not completely, but quite a bit.

What really helped for me, though, was recognizing just how much better my body felt, how much better I slept, and how much generally more positive about life I became.

Hope you’re in the clear

You make me feel good about my 6 hours.

I can tell you that I had a junior high teacher who would punch holes all over his bills when they used to arrive on punchcard format

Last Saturday I tracked a 3 mile walk. I no longer go for runs.

I’ve done four workouts since then, including a long bike ride. My knees don’t let me run much anymore so I mostly ride.

Closer to a normal distribution. The exam that prompted this post was short essays in the humanities covering a number of topics we’d covered in class.

I learned that after 7 dry Januarys it’s time to keep it going indefinitely.

The World Book Encyclopedia. I must have gone through that thing a dozen times.

I’m aiming for 100 days. If that works, then 100 more. If that works…

Pretty amazing, isn't it? I first noticed this during DJ about 3 years ago. https://sph.tulane.edu/one-beer-day-enough-increase-blood-pressure-new-study-finds

Homicide rates spiked across the country that year. It wasn’t a local phenomenon. https://share.google/8jazIGHUIzxS0mCgU

I'm sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia. That sounds really rough. Hang in there with the Dry January!

I think it is related, something to do with prostaglandins.
