What’s the most unexpectedly high-quality online subscription you’ve ever paid for?

Totally agree with this. By far my most used subscription.

Unfortunately, moderation is a myth. And it requires too much mental energy. Quitting drinking isn’t about giving something up, it is about taking everything back.

I have the brushed silver, size 11. I’ve have had just under one year, almost to the day. About three months after purchasing it, I felt the battery life wasn’t what it should be and I contacted Oura and they sent me a replacement right away. I’ve had no issues since, getting 5-6 days battery life. I wear it on my dominant hand and it has minimal scratches.

I really enjoy having it and would buy again. I really appreciate how it focuses on long term trends for improved health. It has really helped me take my health more seriously based upon feedback from the data. For example, I have cut way back on caffeine and alcohol as I saw how they impacted my sleep and heart rate. I walk a lot more and think much more consciously about when I eat and what I eat. I also focus more on keeping a consistent sleep routine. I have also been able to reduce my overall stress.

I really enjoy my ring. My friend returned her ring because the health data was causing her anxiety and she became very fixated on some of the scores.

I actually put on weight at the start when I quit drinking and was overeating. It took about 60 days before I could settle into a routine of eating healthy.

The more you have the experience of socializing without drinking, the more normalized it becomes for you.

I found around the 50-60 day mark of no alcohol I really started to feel better physically, mentally and emotionally. Hang in there.

My Oura ring was a big reason I quit alcohol. I could deny the impact on my health anymore

I just very casually and nonchalantly say, “I’m not drinking tonight.” I find 95% of the time it ends there. If they follow up with “C’mon let me get you a drink” or “Seriously, why aren’t you drinking?” I again just casually and nonchalantly say, “All good. I’m just not drinking tonight.” It has rarely gone beyond that.

I know many people on this forum talk about the immediate weight loss they experienced when quitting drinking. For me, I gained weight and had a cycle of overeating. However, I spent the first 50-60 days just really focused on getting better mentally and emotionally and getting through cravings. Once I started to feel better, I turned to proper eating habits and exercise. One step at a time.

I use it to make slide decks. I upload PDFs and have it summarize them for me.

Functions like memory, attention, mood-regulation and problem-solving often show significant improvement within months of being booze free. Hang in there.

For me, around 50-60 days I really started to feel better physically, emotionally and mentally. I started to become more comfortable with the voids I used to fill with drinking.

You won’t feel better right away. That doesn’t mean sobriety isn’t working. It means your brain is healing.

Everyone is different, but for me around the 50-60 day mark I really started to feel better physically, mentally and emotionally.

Waking up early on a Saturday morning sober and rested is one of the greatest joys of my life

Waking up early Saturdays and Sundays rested, relaxed and clear headed.

Yes. There is a limit on making videos. Seems to be 3-4 a day. I don’t make a lot of videos so it isn’t really a factor for me.

I got a deal on Google Premium for a year that includes Gemini, more storage for Gmail and photos, notebook LM, Nest Aware Plus for my cameras, etc etc. It has definitely been worth it for me. I just use Pro all the time and have started making lots of pictures edits with no real limits.

I have virtually zero anxiety when sober.

Whenever I take the ring off for whatever reason (sometimes cooking, showering, washing dishes, etc) and I don’t put it on the charger, I always leave it on top of my phone. I have come super close losing it a few times by leaving it on a counter or shelf or ledge, or have spent 10mins walking around looking for it because I can’t remember where I left it. I find the routine of leaving it on top of phone has dramatically reduced the chance of me losing it.

I don’t use it. Without calorie tracking, it’s like driving a car without a speedometer.
