| Subject: What I learned by not drinking for 2 years Sat Mar 26, 2016 8:38 pm | |
| Two years ago, a few days before New Year's Eve, I last got drunk. It was the closing night of the Lincoln Lodge, a fantastic comedy venue in Chicago in the back of a now-closed diner. They've since moved, but after that show, I thought I should take a breather from drinking — and eating meat — and focus on productivity.
Here's a short list of what I've accomplished since I stopped drinking:
• Lost 75 pounds.
• Bought an amazing loft condo.
• Finished a first draft of an advice book.
• Started exercising three days a week, then four.
• Went from a size XXL to size Large.
• Performed in three comedy festivals.
• Got an amazing new job.
• Finished multiple drafts of multiple television and movie scripts.
• Went from a 42-inch waist to a 36-inch waist.
• Went from hating myself daily to relatively enjoying myself.
