So I just started re-reading a #novel series that I first read over a decade ago and re-read every few years. We all have our comfort reads.
When I quit #smoking 7? years ago I discovered something fascinating - as my sense of taste and smell came back, my culinary tastes changed. Turns out I'm not a fan of avacado - we have sushi frequently, but its so mild, when my sense of taste was clobbered by smoking I couldn't taste it. :/
The weird perk of quitting #drinking (coming up on 2 yrs now), is - besides running my mouth embarrassingly... at least less frequently, I still speak before thinking a lot - several of the books and movies that I've only ever watched/read under the influence I get to rediscover almost for the first time. Like I remember the main plot of the stories, but now that I'm actually _there_ for every paragraph, I'm picking up so much more.
Its also a lot easier to lose weight when you're not taking in a few thousand calories in booze every night.

Oh also that was my first ever #sober festival! Woohoo go me.
I'm not teetotal, but I'm not far off, so that was a fun milestone to be able to do. I'm someone who in the past has used alcohol to get through tough situations, but the last five years have been working towards coping with stressful things without a crutch. So yay me.
