I've been Cali-sober since May and found that I really don't miss the alcohol. But since I need to watch the sugar content of what I consume, sparkling cider is out as are foods with artificial sweeteners. I like to add cannabis powder/liquid to club soda/cranberry juice/lime when I am out with my friends. There are real health benefits from eliminating alcohol. Cannabis is anti-inflammatory while alcohol causes inflammation. Research is revealing many health issues especially as we get older are caused by inflammation; e.g. interfering with sex because of reduced blood flow to genitals.

Thanks for these highlights. I do like a good drink myself but can always respect how people find their own journeys of being alcohol free.
