how i stopped drinking every day just to look better

[Bayardo.arc]

i’m gonna start by telling my experience with alcohol, i started drinking when i was 14 it is normal where i live and i started doing it for fun and socially, just weekends, just for fun, only a few drinks, getting too drunk was rare not a habit, then drinking became more frequent, expected and i started drinking like 3 times a week getting drunk at least one and it became expected

The moment everything turned to the darker side was when i got cheated on to a guy that was clearly better looking than me, and I just loved this whore to the point she was my entire life, i’m not gonna lie, i still love her

At that point in my life where she was the only thing keeping me happy i had to replace her with other dopamine sources, one that made me forget about her for just a moment, that’s where daily drinking comes in

Every sober moment turned into comparisons, rumination, self hatred, being sober just made me want to ropemaxx and being drunk just turned all of that thoughts off, i drank at every time of day wherever i was

It got to a point where it was concerning and made me be fatter than i already was, and that’s when i looked at the mirror one day and realized that i wouldn’t achieve anything by drinking, i would by looking better.

Alcohol is just the worst for looksmaxx, it kills discipline, makes you bloated and fat, ruins sleep, raises estrogen, worsens skin quality just absolute fucking poison

When i stopped drinking the worse part wasn’t cravings, it was the silence and being alone with my thoughts wich i now just use as fuel to go to the gym and shit like that

I’m prescribed pregabalin and clonazepam for anxiety related reasons, i’m not recommending them and i’m not saying anyone should do this

They act on overlapping inhibitory pathways with alcohol, which for me reduces the urge to drink removes the need to self-medicate and lets me stay functional and calm

This is under medical supervision, and I’m not encouraging anyone to copy this

I’m mentioning it because pretending everyone quits alcohol “raw” is dishonest

Oh and i did replace one addiction with another, i use the money i used on alcohol to gamble now but as i said, i didn’t quit to be virtuous i just quit for my looks

I now live with those depressive thoughts and it’s honestly pretty shit, but at least i don’t make the mistakes i made when i was drunk and i’m able to look better

Good, never look back. Alcohol is useless, especially since you've mentioned going to the gym. For me it's reason number one why I'll never touch a drop. Always thinking of optimizing my gains so I throw it out the equation all the time. "Muh birthday, muh special event, muh new year, muh high quality wine/champagne"... Nope.

I despise the taste of alcohol and get brutal hangovers so luckily I was never really physiologically capable of getting hooked, as much as I love the effects of that sweet sweet drank
