There are many good reasons to give up alcohol but one finally pushed me to taking the leap: sleep. Even a beer or two will leave me tossing and turning all night, and I value a good night’s rest too much.
I’ve moved to drinking a variety of alternatives and I really haven’t looked back since. It’s been months since I’ve switched and the benefits of not drinking have far outweighed what I’ve given up.
Athletic Brewing Company has become my beer of choice because it’s the first I’ve found to actually taste like beer, but I also have this great cocktail recipe book called Zero Proof. There’s a jalapeño cocktail in this book that is truly out of this world.

do people even like drinking anymore? that stuff 10 years ago was the coolest thing and we couldn't wait to thursdays to get to the student nights in the bars in town. everyone now seems to dig being healthy which is cool but there's so much stories and situations i have gotten into thanks to drink and would hate for folk to miss out on that stuff.
but here i am, 28 yo and thinking it's time to stop. a beer now costs way to much and i am spending like 100 on a night just to wake up depressed, anxious, fatter, and broker? what's up with that??

The first half was tough and second half is rewarding. I’m sleeping through the night and craving weird shit like smoothies and salads. 6pm to 10pm feels like forever but then I get home from the bar after drinking five 0% beers and feel dope. Best paired with Sober January.

I haven’t been on Twitter for years and hardly touch FB, but I had been an active user on Instagram since 2012. I really like taking and sharing photos, and that had always been a fun place to do it.
No more.
With the changes the content moderation changes they’re making, leaving LGBTQ+ folks vulnerable to be targeted; their rolling back of DEI programs; their willing participation in far-right rhetoric and politics; it’s all too much and I’m out.
As if Meta’s platform hadn’t already been increasingly enshittified, this was the final straw to announce how much worse it will get.
And you know what? It feels freeing. Better to leave it behind and find new platforms to connect with people.

The guy got my attention with, “Hey, I like your shoes.” Just like that, he had me. We talked about where I bought the shoes and how I used to work in the shoe industry. He used to work in the beer industry but had recently become independently wealthy because of an investment opportunity he started with a few of his friends.
”You get to be your own boss,” he told me. Your boot could be on your own neck. We’re back to the topic of shoes.
He told me it’s a small investment to get started but things are really taking off and I could get in on the ground floor. I could quit my job. Work for myself. Had I ever considered doing something like that?
“No,” I said with a shrug. I walked away with my jar of peanut butter. I can’t remember if it was creamy or crunchy. Probably crunchy.
Nice guy!
