Amen.
Not spending a ton of money on booze is another really good reason to quit.
If I want to buy myself a treat I measure it in lunchtime or day long boozing costs.
An interesting book? Less than a lunchtime.!
A new shirt? A couple of days boozing!
And I have something to read or wear and not just some empty bottles and a sore stomach.

Hey Charlie- so what do you think, did the ideas in there help to put a different spin on things for you? This weekend had me longing for a bottle of wine with our winter storm by the fire, but just thinking of how that really wasn’t a “relaxing treat” anymore really moved the thought through me quickly. I felt a loss of an old friend for a bit but felt good about my decision in the end. I love waking up with my day ahead of me.

Jazzr- I haven’t been on the forum in awhile but just read your post. This was awesome to read! I am only 70 days in but the words of this book stick with me still and shape my decision to not drink every day. I hope you have the same experience and I am so glad you got something out of it
there is a book club thread on here and we’re going to discuss This Naked Mind sometime in April

Hey there, just wanted to check in with you, how’s it going? I was at a st Patrick’s day party last night and had no desire to partake in the drinking. The book’s message is still with me…
