I quit because I was tired of the roller coaster. Drink hard on the weekend. Hungover every weekend. Horrible anxiety on Monday/Tuesday. Starting to feel normal by Wednesday. Rinse and repeat. Many small things that could have turned into big things. I knew at 23 it was a problem but didn’t stop till I was 34.
There is a huge community out there of people who are quitting drinking before they hit bottom. Google gray area drinkers or early exit from drinking. A few Instagram accounts are drybeclub and healthy discoveries. Those 2 women also have a podcast called edit which deals with this very topic!
