#013: Do you love drinking le booze? Do you love it a little too much, like me? 
Well, I took a break from drinking and it changed my life! 

Drinking is a big part of Korean culture and life here as an expat. Taking a break has been HUGE for me: As a club/party promoter, I had been drinking consistently, every week, for about 3 years up until Fall 2019. I was nervous, but I've done it and I'm doing it!

This episode goes into the benefits and insights learned from taking extended periods of sobriety after drinking consistently for years on end since I came to Korea, including: 

• Gradually becoming the top performer of my dreams 
• Becoming a more effective person overall 
• Saving dozens if not hundreds of dollars a month on drinks! 
• Sleeping much better, having more energy for more productive days! 
• Clearing up skin complexion 
• Having more focus and mental clarity 
• Less waking moments feeling scatterbrained/brain fog 
• Less likelihood of throwing up in the streets 
• Increases in discipline and confidence 
• Making HARDer gains in the gym 
• Learning other coping mechanisms for stress, like meditation/gratitude 
• Turning indulgences into properly moderated rewards to be proud of 
• Increasing in pride and decreasing in shame and guilt
• Increasing in humility and compassion
• Increasing in overall consciousness 

From now on I’m going to be taking intermittent breaks throughout the year in order to increase my fitness, health, wealth, energy! 

*195 days broken up into 3 periods:
First run was in 2019, Sep 22 - Oct 23: 30 days. 
Second run in 2019, Nov 1 - Dec 14: 44 days 
This third current run is in 2020, March 5 - July 3: 121 

Today, June 2, marks Day 90 of no drinking in my third period.

Won’t you join me for the last 30 days?
30 days of no drinking from Thursday, June 4 - Friday, July 3
No sip tolerance. If you have even a drop in your system, add another 30 days. ;)
If this cheeky bum can do it, so canst thou! (Hard.)

Have a drink to celebrate life and freedom with me on Sat July 4!
Let's have a cheeky time. MAIM TIME!
