Also stopped in 2018 on the Day of the Dead. Much more productive and active, saves money and mess being sober’sh. Yeah I agree it can be a bit lonelier. My impetus for stopping was to fully get through the other side of a breakup with my fiance. I was approaching 50 at the time and decided I wanted to age as gracefully as able. Meeting people has been difficult with the combination of sobriety, hitting 50 and buying a small property outside of town. I have no regrets about any of it whatsoever. I started microdosing psilocybin almost daily and whenever I socialize with drinkers.
