What a fantastic article, Michael. I relate to many of the things you wrote about here. We are close as age goes (26).

I also did the Sober October experiment. At the end of the month, I ironically decided to celebrate it with a good night of drinking. The next 4 days were complete ****. I started over this month. Let me tell you, the difference in how I feel overall is just staggering.

At the one hand, I feel powerful and hopeful in all the things I can achieve without the booze, on the other end of the spectrum, I’m fear what would happen to me if I wouldn’t take control.

To put it in other words, I know what I can become without it, and I know what I will become with it. The two sides of the medallion.

I loved reading this. Following you now + all the claps!
