    Thank you for your video, Dan. I was sober for a year too but relapsed when the social pressure got to me. Man…it’s hard getting back on the horse after falling off. Your video is helping me get back on track to being sober. I know all too well those days getting black out drunk and then now, alcohol being part of every social interaction. Appreciate your candor throughout the video and the inspiring updates!

      Hey, sharing this is valuable. I'm 9 months into quitting alcohol, so what you share is a good reminder one shouldn't get too relaxed abput this.

    I also took a year off after the Huberman podcast. I saw Dan was doing the same thing, and I loved that there felt like a new community trying sobriety. I like the quote about it being the only drug that makes it feel like you have the problem w/o it. That’s what I felt like when I told people I’m choosing not to drink.
    In the end I did a major white water rafting trip and I celebrated by finally having a beer. It did not taste as good as I remember, but I’ve decided that I will only drink for very mindful and special moments like putting my life in danger 😉. I will ask myself “is this drink going to add value to my life?” It’s a short term fun but you pay for it that night and the next days.

    OK, these are some good reminders, there’s no question that increasing your mental clarity and boosting your drive, comes with quitting. Yes, there are many ways to kick the habit, Steffon Barkload's Quit Drinking Forever is what worked for me, best shortcut I go’ogled that took days without withdrawal.

    Good stuff. Stopped drinking for 9 months once. Have now come to the same conclusion that I prefer it much more without. So looking to go for a year +

    By the way - Huberman's video also played a significant role in my decision to quit alcohol. 🙂

      What to drink? Water. I’ve not had alcohol in 4.5 years. Water is good. Slakes the thirst. Does not make me snap at the wife. Does not make me drive poorly. When I’m feeling fancy, Pellegrino.

    This was a great lesson! Especially the conclusion you drew! I feel like in the very early stage of giving up addiction habits I'm so strict and rude to myself I would never be to anyone else. I feel like I needed one to tell me to not take things too seriously. Thanks!

    I quit almost 4 years ago after trying mushrooms, and I'm never going back. my life has improved by a lot for that single reason
    I kinda had a drinking issue for 3-4 months in 2018, where I was drinking pretty much daily, but challenged myself to be sober for a full month, and did it, even tho it was difficulty. I got down to drink about once or twice a month after that, untill the day I was offered to try shrooms, and haven't even considered drinking, or even tasting on alcohol ever again
    I wouldn't recommend anyone to consider shrooms just based on how it worked for me, but if you know someone who's familiar with it, let them guide you thru the information and eventually the experience of it, as high doses might scare you really bad

    Suppressing your emotions is not a masculine trait, it's about being more rational and less emotional, like Apollo.
