I love ALL of this, Diana! Especially huge congrats on the two years being alcohol-free; I would love to know what the longevity science that tipped you was!)

I am going to write a post on my Substack in January talking about this--because it is so important and truly changed my life...And it didn't happen overnight (the "science of longevity" and connecting all the dots)--it was a journey, and because I think my "story" can be helpful to others I want to share it a bit more mindfully. I knew that my life would improve if I gave up alcohol--but that was a really sad proposition--that is: Giving something up that I LOVED so very much! That truly didn't sound like any fun. But what finally made it stick was when I had the mindset shift to "what I was getting" --not what I was going to have to do without. When I post, I'll ping you!

I'm going to check your substack for it! I know my body would be happier if I drank once a month or less, but the enjoyment I get from it has not yet convinced me to give it up totally.
