Great to hear patricia! For me it was kind of the other way around -- I started paying more attention to my diet, and it seemed stupid to eat healthy but keep poisoning myself with alcohol. I also wanted to restart my meditation practice, but again, pointless while I was still drinking. Both of those things led eventually to the final push I needed to stop drinking.
Now that I'm sober, I'm back to the practice and paying even more attention to my diet.
