Kinda... Around that time I got into vipassana meditation. I also became a vegetarian which lasted about a decade. I don't really practice anymore but I'd like to if I had more time.

Giving up alcohol was possible only when I put time for more important things as a priority. Also, once I start drinking I find it hard to stop. Then I'm out all night and hung over the next day. It just isn't worth the wasted time even though it can be fun.

What are some boundaries you set for yourself?

I have friends who don’t drink at all, so I have coffee dates with them. I respect the boundary they set for themselves.

Did something life-changing happen such that you don’t touch alcohol anymore, like @grayruby?
