Congrats! LIfe is so much better without alcohol. Especially once you get past your college years. I can't recall the last time I had a drink, I think it's been about a year since my last single beer, and the last time I drank to the point of drunkeness was at a beer festival was in 2018.

I occasionally enjoy a non-alcoholic IPA, I like the taste.

I honestly don't miss alcohol at all. I have considered having a NA beer. I wanted to wait until I was well past my last drink, I'm still thinking about it.

Congratulations! congratulations

May the realtors of the world never feel peace.

Hell yeah! Congratulations on the great effort. I'm coming up on 4 months now and I'm not regretting my decision at all

Congrats, that’s incredible to achieve when alcohol id everywjere.

Do you have any other vices?

Yes, tons unfortunately. I had a traumatic childhood and struggle with impulse control. But I am working on other things now.

Nothing as destructive as alcohol was though. I've used THC pretty regularly the last 5 years, but haven't done that in 3 months now.

[–] Realtor_Hate_Account@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Last class I took was in 2012 so a bit longer thankfully 😁

[–] HexBeara@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

College or HS? because if hs, same. Like 2015 for a lil bit of college but that's it and I've screwed up my gpa, still think I should go back just to have a piece of paper saying I'm learneded so I plan on moving back to Massachusetts... Somehow... I'll probably post about it lmao

[–] Realtor_Hate_Account@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh...college. I graduated HS in 2002 😒. I'm old.
