Alcohol<\/a> and I go way back. It was a shy meeting at first, but sometime during those hazy university days, our relationship went into overdrive. For a while, it ran fast and furious, like any new love affair. We\u2019ve all been there. Club-hopping on ladies\u2019 night<\/a> to chug as many watered-down drinks as humanly possible. Throwing back shots and guzzling potent concoctions to relish that \u2018high\u2019 (Zouk\u2019s Long Island Iced Tea was the kindle for many a blurry night). Revelling in the feeling that nothing in the world matters in the moment except you, that beat drop, and all your newfound besties on the dance floor.<\/p>\n

We were on fire for those peak partying years, back when the cheapest bottle at any convenience store would do the trick. That was before I discovered the finer things in life. Like good wine, smooth sake<\/a> and thoughtfully crafted cocktails<\/a>. With my newfound affection, liquor became something to sip, not swig. Killer shots at nondescript hole-in-the-wall bars turned into ace cocktails at hip hangouts. A constant chase after that feel-good buzz became an appreciation for the drink.<\/p>\n

But alcohol and I eventually drifted apart. Adulting will do that to you. We just ran in different circles. Our common interests petered out. Except for the occasional glass of wine with a good meal or a cocktail at a hot new bar, we were mostly \u2018hi, bye\u2019 acquaintances. Until the chaos of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Hello, my old friend<\/h3>\n

When the pandemic hit, it brought down a stress storm. Yes, I had plenty to be grateful<\/a> for (proper shelter and food, virtual times with loved ones, a job that allowed me to WFH easily). But months of worry and anxiety over circumstances out of your control will take a toll on anyone\u2019s mental wellbeing<\/a>. So I turned to what came easiest: a reunion with booze.<\/p>\n

The connection was instant. We picked up where we left off and it was like no time had passed. Wine was at my side to celebrate anything and everything \u2013 even something as trivial as welcoming the weekend. Regular cocktail-powered evenings were a heady mix of carefree bliss. A tough week ended in empty bottles of booze. Don’t get me wrong, there\u2019s nothing bad about winding down the day with a glass of red. I\u2019m not a binge-drinker (two drinks and I’m done), but dependence on alcohol wasn\u2019t something I wanted.<\/p>\n

So, after an overdose of booze-fuelled euphoria at festive gatherings over the year-end period, I cut off the whirlwind romance before it blew up. I decided to ditch drinking for two months. Some people do Dry January; I quit alcohol cold turkey and did it twice over because 30 days just didn\u2019t seem long enough.<\/p>\n

Going our separate ways<\/h3>\n

Surprisingly (to me), the first two weeks weren\u2019t easy. Apparently, this is when your body is in detox mode. Come sunset, my cravings kicked in. I looked longingly at my wine fridge. Every TV show or movie I watched mocked me with scenes of people clinking glasses in a bar or drowning their sorrows with friends at home (somehow, red wine is always the drink of choice).<\/p>\n

Social get-togethers gave me FOMO. Friends wondered whether I had a baby on the way because I declined a tipple (why is pregnancy the only valid reason?), then cajoled me to indulge a little. There were long days when I wanted nothing more than to end the evening on the sofa with wine. I had alcohol on speed-dial but thankfully, I never cracked.<\/p>\n

The third week was easier. Yeah, we had some good times together but it was time to move on, I thought. I finally joined the fitness movement with kickboxing and realised exercise endorphins could work magic to put you in good spirits. Better late than never! Oh, and I discovered the beauty of non-alcoholic drinks<\/a>. We\u2019ve come a long way from boring mocktails, y\u2019all.<\/p>\n

Life’s better without it<\/h3>\n

Instead of being a bummer, abstaining from alcohol made me feel happier and healthier. You know what? You don\u2019t need to drink to have fun. I sleep soundly, I wake up rested without that foggy feeling, I remember everything, I\u2019m less bloated and more energetic, I find new ways to experience life, and I just feel<\/em> better. I thought alcohol was an enjoyable way to destress, an escape from real life or a reward for surviving the day. But it\u2019s a depressant. Its feel-good effects don\u2019t last long and can actually lead to anxiety or stress, ironically.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re \u2018sober curious\u2019, I\u2019d say go ahead and explore what that means to you. A quick search online will tell you all about the health benefits of quitting alcohol \u2013 that includes weight loss, clearer skin and a lower risk of diseases like cancer. Everyone\u2019s journey is different \u2013 I didn\u2019t experience any terrible withdrawal symptoms apart from some headaches \u2013 so take it one day at a time, draw up a plan or get help if you think you can’t resist temptation.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the memories<\/h3>\n

After breaking up with alcohol for two months, I\u2019m over it. I don\u2019t even remember why I liked it. (I know, I\u2019m shocked too.) Some experts claim drinking in moderation is fine, others argue there\u2019s nothing good about it. I say: I don’t miss it, but I’m not against a sip someday. It\u2019s not goodbye forever \u2013 maybe we\u2019ll catch up once in a while and reminisce.<\/p>\n

Now, alcohol and I are like any other friendship in your 30s. You know what you like and what you don\u2019t. You appreciate the good times you had. You don\u2019t meet that often but when you do, it\u2019s a blast. Someone once said: there\u2019s gotta be more to life than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me. And if you\u2019ve never heard of Stacie Orrico<\/a>, well, now you\u2019re just making me feel old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
