I am on a three month alcohol break. My energy level is way up and feel better all around. I am 45 and only was drinking on Friday/Saturday. I am/was active but alcohol was taking those gains away. My energy and fitness level is way up since starting the break.
This is common with my friends in their 40s. A lot of us are on some journey of giving up or cutting back alcohol.

I made 10 years sober in June. Never in my life did I expect to not have a drink in 10 years.
My life is better now in ever way, mentally, physically, financially and spiritually. Oh, and legally too. Legal repercussions are what finally forced me to make it stick. Jail sucks terribly, I learned the hard way.
The first 2 years were extremely tough. It’s only been easier from there.
Keep at it, be proud of that accomplishment, and remind yourself every single day that 1 sip of vodka or beer will throw it all away and make everything in your life WORSE.

If you're referring to me, I had a lot more than 2-3 drinks. Probably averaged 18 beers and 4-5 bourbons per week over a two day period. I never said I was a full blown alcoholic, but it seemed to consume my mind and it became exhausting.

Awesome!
Alcohol made me frickin stupid
Last drink was early Sunday morning, March 2 1997.
Three days before my 30th birthday. Didn't think I would live to see it.

By what you stated you weren’t an alcoholic by my sense of the definition.
This is like saying I’m gonna stop listening to opera. But hey, you do you and here’s your pat on the back you’re looking for.
Thanks. I was looking for advice and maybe a few encouraging words, not a pat in the back, prick.

Congrats. My break is more “I hate feeling low energy next morning” than anything.
