What do you replace alcohol with? Hiking through nature? Meditation? Cocaine?
When I stopped drinking I found myself with a lot of free time I could dedicate to things, and also a lot of free time that I could dedicate to working on my mental health.
I was drinking about a fifth of alcohol every night (except Saturday, those were more) and none of it was less than 50% alcohol as anything less was a waste of time for me.
How did you stop? I was in the same boat, like 7 days ago. I decided in want to stop buying alcohol for the house. So maybe 5 days ago I finished the last bottle and can at home. Since then I've had a beer at lunch at a restaurant and 3 beers yesterday at a friend's house. I was verrrry tempted to go buy some last night.
Edibles/weed helps take the edge off.
Not great for weight loss though IMO
And replacing one potentially-abused substance with another
It's a hell of a lot better for you than alcohol though. It would be a net benefit to anyone who drinks regularly to replace it thusly.
Yeah, it's better, but it's not great if you're doing it every day like the user above was suggesting. I just don't think the advice should end at "switch to weed" because it's just changing the problem instead of offering advice for fixing it
