Alcohol, but I've cut back immensely in the past 4 years. Turns out you can't drink like you did in your 20s when you're in your 40s and expect to feel fine the next morning. I think I'm almost at the point where I'm gonna give it up entirely, or just have it on special occasions, because it's just not worth it anymore.
I was in the exact same boat 2 years ago. I don’t know what happened exactly, but I just decided it was time to stop. At the time it was to see how it went, and how long I could go without it. And I honestly never looked back. I feel tons better, and I’m sure I’m overall much healthier as well. And I don’t miss it or crave it anymore, except very occasionally when work gets to the “You have got be shitting me right now” level, and even then it’s not a strong craving and I just ignore it until it goes away. And the $avings!
I'm in my 40s and could use a motivator to slow down a bit... Maybe I just hydrate enough to feel fine the next day lol
Easiest way to do it is just not buy it, that's how I've been approaching it. Or if I do, I'll only buy on a Friday enough to last a weekend (1 bottle of wine or a 4-6pk of cider/beer/vodka seltzer for me), and that's it.
Easier done when you have the feeling shitty motivation the next day.
