I had gotten to a pretty bad point from my point of view. Like 8-10 drinks a night (mostly hard selzers with 5% alcohol) and assumed quitting would be tough but on the fourth night right now not having had anything to drink I haven't felt anything except boredom as a symptom and I've managed that by gaming. Worked every day this week and I've actually felt fresher waking up than when I was drinking.

Is this it?

Not sure it crept up on me honestly. For a long while (more than 5 years) I was doing a 5-6 a night then I realized I was doing more like 7 then 8 then on monday morning I realized I had gone through a 30 pack of selzers in about 3 days then I just decided not to pick up another case after work.

I quit cold turkey for 3 months but felt like i had no emotions except for boredom. I started drinking again a few weeks ago and finally felt some excitement.

I went 10 days without drinking, and then I started getting anxiety and drank hard last night. Try to limit yourself to 4 drinks, unlike me, if this happens to you.

that's the thing. it became almost like a hobby for you and once that's gone, you wonder how you can fill that time. You gotta find something else. and more productive l
