You will make it. Say no to that little but dangerous voice, asking you to drink alcohol. I stopped drinking alcohol a year ago. I don't miss it. I was drinking alcohol only alone at home, after work. I never went out with friends, drinking alcohol. I don't have such friends. Maybe that is why it was easier for me to quit.

Thanks Doc…. I was probably drinking at least 15 drinks a day (rum&coke). I have a racing heart, high blood pressure and ED. So I stopped drinking. Heart isn’t racing, blood pressure is better and I’m still waiting to what happens with ED thing ( it still gets hard but I don’t have staying power). Alcohol is not my problem, it’s sugar (rum and coke is super sweet) Now that I’ve stopped drinking, now it’s everything sweet. I’m giving myself 3 days to start breaking that habit. I’m so focused on my health, I know I’m going to succeed. I’ve been watching your podcasts for extra motivation 😘

Sounds like weed is your master chronic use depletes your ability to be happy because you run out of serotonin which is why once your tolerance is up you barely feel it maybe you should turn to God you wanna feel happiness and joy God is the way most people look to drugs and alcohol to feel something because they are spiritually dead but when you come to christ you will feel joy every day of your life God loves you hope you can understand one day too much of anything is really a punishment for your body that's why it's called sin it's also a great teacher when it comes to life
