Today marks exactly five years sober for me. I quit when I was a microbrewery beer enthusiast and a so-called moderate drinker. Sometimes I overdid it, especially when I could pour a pint of fresh IPA from the brewery's taps. In total, I managed to review about 5,000 different craft beers to Untappd and whatnot.

Life didn't magically improve overnight after I quit, but reflux and stomach problems disappeared completely, and my migraines and panic attacks became less frequent. I feel better now than I did back then.

I think I'm going to keep it this way.

@rolle nice! Did the lifestyle change based on the change to alco consumption (so, after; not before)?

It’s been 3.5 months alco-free for me, absolutely no issues so far. Same improvements regarding reflux. Also fixed undesirable water retention issues. Next up: quit all forms of snacking in spring 2026.

@rishat Not much, but I managed to start a regular weekly running routine. That never happened when I was drinking.

@rolle Congratulations. I'm around the same - roughly five years ago too.
