Too long. I just can't not process things that happened, interactions with people, all that stuff. I'm not sure I even want to just drop when I finally have the time to thinks stuff before sleep.

This was my thought as well. I'm not against ads though, but there has to be some limits to it.

I think we need a middle-vote button.

Yeah, and it's a good thing... also, I comment now which I didnt really bother to do on reddit.

Does anyone know, if there's more guides like this? Maybe with a little different point of view?

Me too! I was drinking 0% beer while writing this post. Some are really good. And now that I haven't drank in years, I actually often double check the label if the beer really is 0%. It's weird.

Yeah, I think this is how it is. I think I'm appearing weird even though people probably cares less than I think. I guess it is why I wrote this question. I'd like to know how people got over this phase and stopped worrying. Blaming health complications feels somehow dramatic... but maybe I'll use that one if someone really pushes and it's half true in my case anyway.

My friend circles do not really care, or at least I hope they don't. Most of my friends drink very little as well. There was some semi-awkward discussions about alcohol politics at some small parties when I decided to stop altogether, but I think that was that.

This is so interesting. I'm not in a relationship now, but if I was and my partner would like to drink, what would I do? I don't know. I don't really want to rule out potential partners if they enjoy some drinking. So did me being alone this time make me go from one beer to zero, or would I have gone to zero anyway.

 

I stopped drinking alcohol some years ago. Before that I hardly consumed any alcohol at all for many years, but in my college years and maybe some years after that, I drank socially like "everybody else". But I gradually kind of got tired of dealing with the bad feelings (physical and emotional), so I drank less and less.

And maybe because I drank less and less, even one beer often just made me feel kind of bad, so then I just stopped altogether. Anyway, I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else? And how do you go by it socially? What do you order at a bar? Maybe I'm a little afraid to go to places that has an "alcohol culture", even if there are some places I would like to go. I don't want to drink, but at the same time I don't want to appear weird about it either.

Usually, but there's a lot of hard days. My main motivator is that I know I will always feel great after exercise. When I've done the regular gym sessions and jogging, I feel like I have the energy to do all the things I want and my brain feels 20% smarter. I've seen that some other people seem to function without exercise just fine, I don't understand how. But I can't...

I mainly do just gym and jogging. Jogging is the easy one for me. I usually feel instantly good when I start my run and the barrier to go is low: keep running gear at hand and just go out of the door. There's hardly ever any pain or unpleasantness. I've done this so long that my body sort of runs on its own. Or that's what it feels like.

Gym is harder. I've got some random pains in my muscles from doing it. Some pain is completely normal of course but I don't really enjoy pushing my body when it hurts or if there's a fear of some real injury. But it can be very pleasurable and motivating as well. On a good day, I feel strong and lifting feels good without pain. And there's progress also.

Anyway I'm quite excited about current progress at the gym. I genuinely feel better and more energized than before.

But answers to question about how to feel good: Jogging: go regularly for 20+ years and it will feel nice almost all the time... Gym (weight lifting): i would like to know this myself, it seems there are some good days but a lot of bad days as well

... to rule all iPhones?

This. Your peers in their 30s are generally easy to talk to and you can become friends in some terms quite easily but then finding time to just hang out or go somewhere seems to be so very hard. It helps me a lot to have some regular hobbies to have at least something going on socially.
