The Truth
A lot of people just say “stop”.. but I had a plan.

Ironically, it’s a huge part of what I do for a career, but get you a plan if you just can’t stop cold-turkey like that.

I’ve been a party guy since I was 19 years old. Always had paper and endless time (hustling, getting it from the mud). At 39, my relationship with it changed over the years. I enjoy well made cocktails and craft beers (which cost $$$) therefore I now can say “I’m good” if it not something I can enjoy/want. 2-3 is cool, and I’m usually good after that.

I don’t need the stress of it. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.


My advice: find ways to fill up your time, plus always have some water or something around to drink. Getting full off of that helped kick the need to go out and hang every night

I'm going on week #3 without any alcohol, not even a beer. It's one of those things that I can apparently quit in the snap of a finger.

It used to be nothing for me to get off work @ 11pm and head to the liquor store to pick me up a bottle. I just hadn't had the desire to lately. Not saying I won't drink again, but I've been feeling healthy these past 3 weeks

Yeah, I'm gonna get back into trying to make beats. I used to think I couldnt be creative without a bottle in my hand because I'd always hear stories about how some artist felt they were more creative under the influence of somethin' smh

thats a weak excuse IMO; drugs and drink just elevate whatever you already are. you don't transform.

Alcohol got boring to me, I reduced it to once a week, to once a fortnight to only on special occassions. I barely drink now.
Exact same situation here… after a while the hangovers just ain’t worth it anymore. When I was in my teens and early 20s I used to drink like a fukking fish as I got older other things became important to me and like I said that shytty morning after feeling just don’t be worth it anymore. I barely drink now and when I do it’s a whiskey on the rocks, two glasses max and I’m done.

Exactly.

Now, if I go out, especially to a bar, I will definitely get a drink. I don't think I'll ever be one of those ppl the pull up a seat at the bar and order a damn 7up or some shít:pachaha:

Them nikkas were addicts lmao. Rockstars fall into heroin because it’s very blissful but addictive. I can’t do shyt when I drink, just end up looking at porn or downloading tinder lol.
Take L-Theanine or/and 5HTP instead. You won’t get high but feel more relaxed.
