Monthly expenses:

Beer $300

Nicotine $240

Cannabis $180 (used to be more but getting $15 vape carts lately)

Gambling $200-400

If you want to include eating out in there then that's several hundred more per month.

I spend a lot of money on feeling good.

At least half of that can go immediately. You’re throwing away generational wealth.

Quitting alcohol entirely has immediate and long term benefits too

Negative side effects include having to have fun as your actual self at parties (should you choose to go) and tightening your belt a notch or two

The social part has been the hardest for me.

Almost 100% of my crew booze and booze a lot.

Willingness to still take part and be the non-drinker is tough. I have zero problem being the same as when I boozed (I’m not shy), it’s others that have the problems with it when you say no-thanks.

It is not passive or easy though. Definitely requires a strong driver of some kind, hopefully the foregone sats are enough but us meatbags be complicated

Murdering people via Call of Duty helps me quite a bit.

And boy do I enjoy killing.

In the game I mean.

If alcohol is a necessity for a friendship, then you’re not really friends. Lead by example and inspire them to quit too.

I mostly agree but with the exception of people who are true friends who also all need a wake up call. Such as perhaps one from within the group to man (or woman) up and be the weirdo who doesn’t 😲

My example has led to 4 people stopping. Including my son and 1 of his friends and they’re in their 20’s. Much tougher age to just quit.

Alcohol isn’t needed to be friends, just calling out the fact that it’s absolutely ingrained in most social interactions.

It cultivates a higher time preference. Dangerous.
