being boring is fun guys
so, im five weeks into my 2026 goal of no drinking for 10 weeks. This is something I do annually, except with each passing year, i up the stint (eg in 2024 i did 6, 2025 I did 8 weeks) and im always rocked with how different I feel??? Sleep is better, mind is sharper, more energy, less groggy and just overall more happy?
TikTok tells me (with a quick google verification) that the liver is the only internal organ to regenerate itself 🖖 sooooo if that’s the encouragement you need to do a dry month, u can thank me later when u feel like ur absolutely flying xx
aight ill stfu now and stop being an annoying b*tch, just thought I’d share what I’ve been up to, ily 🤟
Embarking on a 10-week alcohol break each year has profoundly changed how I experience daily life. Beyond the well-known perks like improved sleep and more energy, I've uncovered a deeper appreciation for simple pleasures and healthier habits. For instance, I started enjoying dawn runs at Lake Monger, which became a refreshing start to my days, boosting both my mood and endurance. Home cooking also took center stage, as I spent more time preparing colorful, nutrient-packed meals sourced from local fruit and vegetable markets. This not only nourished my body but made me feel more connected to my community in Perth. I also indulged in relaxing rituals like morning melts, sauna, and ice bath sessions that further enhanced my wellbeing. Socially, the shift allowed me to value quality interactions over quantity, enjoying girly dinners with good lighting and babysitting moments that felt truly rewarding. The holistic improvements in mind and body reinforce that sometimes, 'being boring'—or simply taking a break from nightlife—is genuinely fun and fulfilling. If you're considering a dry month or longer, remember that your liver is regenerating and your overall happiness can soar. Trust the process, and you may find yourself flying too.
