I'm glad i don't drink and never drank alcohol in my life.
I have no urge to drink alcohol.
I believe most people drink because they think that's what they're suppose to do as a part of being an adult.

Here with this video I'm so glad that I never got to be a drinker who drink alcohol and also not a smoker.What helped me back then was that I loved driving American mucle cars so I always signed up to be the designade driver driving my frinds mucle cars while they all was drinking being on our way to some clubs or dance. Halleluja, I made it to be old 😅

[theonewhoknows]

Thanks Doc…. I was probably drinking at least 15 drinks a day (rum&coke). I have a racing heart, high blood pressure and ED. So I stopped drinking. Heart isn’t racing, blood pressure is better and I’m still waiting to what happens with ED thing ( it still gets hard but I don’t have staying power). Alcohol is not my problem, it’s sugar (rum and coke is super sweet) Now that I’ve stopped drinking, now it’s everything sweet. I’m giving myself 3 days to start breaking that habit. I’m so focused on my health, I know I’m going to succeed. I’ve been watching your podcasts for extra motivation 😘
