I just recently cleared my place of much bullcrap and have consequently been able to keep cleaning up after myself moment to moment so it doesnt build up and its basically alwaya clean 🤩

    I take a break from caffeine for a week every two months. I do the same with alcohol every month. It helps me stay objective about the amount I’m consuming. It helped me cut way back from pandemic-levels of coffee especially. Hoo, boy, I was one jittery, confined ball of anxiety and despair.

    Pro tip: don’t schedule both during the same week.

      Me and my wife have started doing Dry January. There was a study about how it led to drinking less year over year. I like it!

        I’ve read similar. A full, continuous month would probably be more effective than my week-long dry spells, but I have alcohol-related hobbies (brewing, distilling, other fermentations) that I don’t want to shelve for that long. So more frequent week-long spells are for me.

        Happy journey with your spouse, I hope it’s a positive for you!

          Honestly the first couple times I would make exceptions for birthdays and whatnot but it’s gotten easier. Also in your case it seems like tasting booze for hobby purposes is different than having a drink… anyway good luck to you too!

            Weeeeell, it’s a better excuse, innit?

            • I used to brew beer as well and going completely dry when there’s delicious homebrews in the fridge isn’t as easy as when there are none.

      I am, in a non-self deluded (I hope) way, a “social drinker”. I don’t keep any alcohol at home. I only drink around friends, and I keep company that does more things than just go to bars. This makes alcohol actually seem like more of an upbeat treat than something habitually consumed.

      I took an involuntary tolerance break from cannabis for 4 days, and it reduced my daily intake by 90%

      FYI caffeine and alcohol don’t actually build tolerance unless you really drink a lot.

        It’s not about tolerance, it’s about monitoring how much I’m consuming so I don’t overdo it.
