Maya, just wait when you see the improvements in your body. It makes it much easier. I gather from other threads that you are in good shape and I can tell you that I kind of stopped drinking about 6 years ago. I have tasted alcohol few times in these 6 years but I cant stand the taste any more and my tolerance is still the same. I wasn’t an alcoholic but I started drinking very young and always drank vodka and lots of it. Last time I drank once like two years ago when I took 0,7l of Russian Standardt (vodka) and was disappointed.
Main thing after abstaining from alcohol is my weight. I need to eat huge amounts just to keep my weight. I am now in great shape. First time in my life I can actually say that I am proud of my body.
I come from a country where its seen very abnormal if you are not drinking. Fortunately most of my friends smoke weed too and I like it. I have had zero problems visiting my friends who are drinking or even going to a bar and ill just take cola or coffee.
I am 32 years old male and these last few years people has started to ask my id when I buy alcohol or cigarettes. There has even been a situation where I was accused of using false id. Especially younger women cant believe my age.
I had some reasons which I think made it a lot easier for me to stop drinking. My sister and father are an alcoholics and I hate the taste of alcohol.
