stopping the drinking came pretty easy for me (it was moderation that was the real problem i had). i've never had an addictive personality, so once i decided to stop drinking it just happened and was never really an issue. i spent the first few months working on my social skills because drinking was a super easy crutch for me to be outgoing (i'm a very introverted thinking person) and so i had to practice all those same skills again sober.
one of my big goals at the time was to have a first kiss sober. i'm flirty and adventurous but it was bothering me that i really couldn't remember the last time i had a steamy first kiss that didn't involve me having a few drinks beforehand. so i really wanted to reach this goal. the first few months i was having a hard time meeting new people. i just didn't know where to meet them that wasn't a bar or a club. but then my super sexy sixsixty luck kicked in!! and i'll tell you the secret.
it all made sense after i realized this and i then started to meet a ton of amazing people. yay for that! it's also the reason i got to meet bob!
so far the only drawback with the not drinking is that i feel like i have a lot less adventures in my life. i used to really enjoy drunken adventure days. some of my favorite memories (actually most of my favorite memories) have all been days with close friends, heavy drinking, and running around cities. i still have close friends and cities, but it just seems with that combination alone my ability for adventures has taken a nose dive. so that's one of the current goals still. if you have any info on sober adventuring, i would love to hear it.
in other news i made a custom munny.
