Quitting alcohol may improve mental well-being, health-related quality of life, suggests a new study, which found men and women who were lifetime abstainers had the highest level of mental well-being, and women who were moderate drinkers and quit, linked to a favourable change in mental well-being.

I am “allergic” to alcohol. I have a GI disorder that makes me throw up as soon as i drink it. This started happening in my teens but didn’t become serious till my mid twenties. It seriously effected my social life my career and my relationships. Existing or not. It has been 5 years and I lost many friends. I feel so anti social now like and it affects my mood daily. I was never good at being social. I tried to make friends with AA people but I didn’t really fit in. Nothing against people in recovery they know how to throw great parties without alcohol. But they trade one substance for another. It’s a tobacco and caffeine party (things that i was also forced to quit) Also now every time i go on a date and they ask for drinks i have to hear the “You’re not drinking?” and then they assume either I am in recovery or im a religious freak or both. I then have to explain to them that I am not any of those. So our first 30 seconds of conversation includes my talk about my intestines and vomiting (Because they asked and had to know the details...) Despite having this GI disorder. I like my lifestyle. Nothing against recovery or religion or alcohol but thats not my energy i was never “lost and found” And I feel that is an emotion that a lot of people project on to me. It deals a huge blow to my confidence knowing that i would have more relationships, career opportunities, friends if i did drink.
