@primetrain: If you’re stuck in the cycle drinking every weekend, partying till sunrise, waking up with regret but doing it all again next Friday I’ve been there. And I broke out. Here’s exactly what I did: 1. Stopped romanticizing it. It’s not “fun” if it leaves you empty. Most nights out are the same faces, same conversations, same hangover. Different weekend. 2. Got clear on what I wanted. Energy. Focus. Discipline. Growth. You can’t have both. The life you want is on the other side of self-respect. 3. Changed my circle. You can’t grow in a room full of people who don’t want you to. Start spending time with people chasing something real. 4. Built a routine I was proud of. Training early. Clean eating. Work that excites me. Cold plunges. Sunrises. I stopped living for weekends and started living for myself. 5. Gave myself grace — but didn’t make excuses. I slipped up at times. But I didn’t spiral. I got back to it. Quickly. This journey isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about finally becoming real. When you stop drinking, you don’t just lose a habit — you lose the version of you that needed it. And what you gain? Clarity. Momentum. Confidence. Peace. Purpose. And a life that doesn’t need escaping from anymore. If you’re ready to stop talking about it and actually change — I’m here for it.
