Yes, absolutely. I quit drinking 16 months ago. At first it was weird. I didn’t realize the role it was playing in my socialization until I stopped. It was very vulnerable socializing without alcohol for a while.
Now, I am way more connected to my body. I feel my feelings more. I get to know people deeply and am more able to be vulnerable with people. My ADHD is better, but I also am able to notice it more. It’s like I removed a layer of issues, and that made it easier to see what was underneath.
Congrats on 40 days!!
