racked up 50 days alcohol free as of today, no pressing reason just wanted a break and a minor challenge to see through to the end. funnily enough the social drinking part was easy and had some fun nights out on 0 alcohol beers. the at home turning brain off and playing video games sipping soju is what i missed.

didn't experience any actual benefits, which is exactly like when i quit coffee for a couple months and nothing happened just mildly less enjoyment

Sucks to hear you didn't have any positive effects :( I'm doing dry July and feeling way better, sleeping better and lot more energy and motivation.

that's awesome! i think taking a break is for sure good, even just psychologically, so still glad i did it. for me nothing much improves my motivation other than just doing things and then it starts to snowball real quick.
