But the interesting and positive thing about quitting drinking for me, and I haven't drank not one drink in almost seven years now, come August, is that it taught me how to sit in my feelings, and cope with the stress, and come up with solutions. Whereas prior to that, "Oh, I know the solution. Put the alcohol Band-Aid on it." But I think that that impairs character building. It impairs problem-solving capabilities. It impairs coping capabilities, and I think those are super important for just basically being an adult. And so, those were kind of the hidden benefits that I experienced from quitting alcohol, on top of having better training sessions, having better training recovery, consuming almost a thousand calories less per day, improvements in body composition, and just mental health.
