I’ve decided to quit drinking alcohol permanently. This will be a tough challenge for me: drinking has been a big part of my identity since I was in high school. Unfortunately it's also been an unhealthy way to avoid being fully in touch with my emotions & my experience of life.

I’ve been using the Streaks app to build a habit here (every day I don’t drink I extend the streak). Building a habit with an app has worked really well for me with meditation (93 days straight on Insight Timer!).pic.twitter.com/kdvy8xH1cR

Personal change is building a practice or habit one day at a time. There are no silver bullets in life. The good news it is possible for anyone to build a new habit.

You can have all the success in the world and still be unhappy or engage in toxic behaviors (and you will not be alone). But it is never too late to make change in your life. I wish you the very best in your journey.

BTW, I will still meet you for a drink :) but I will have soda water.

Seems like there is interest from others in joining me. If anyone is interested in joining a support group chat on Telegram, send me your handle and I’ll make one (even if it’s just a temporary change for you)

Drink water and party all you want! Walk into the crowd with an open Coke Zero/Diet Coke and simply point to the open Coke when someone offers to hand you an open beer.. Notice that as the night life continues you get smarter and clearer than most people around you.

Congrats on quitting, and thanks for sharing. This is for sure, helpful for many out there. Founders and CEO's (even large for large corps) don't share often their internal struggles.

I’ve been working on disciplinetech that can significantly reduce alcohol/smoking relapse rates to 1/5 of what it is now. Involves algo enforced Ulysses pacts and self-blacklisting from vendors, at intersection of public policy and tech. Would love your feedback
