I had the same thing I had a hangover kit that I would follow to make the hangover less harsh it was right around the time I quit too
I’m happy you had a safe environment around your family mine would prefer I “loosen” up by drinking, in fact quitting made me realize that there was a lot of toxic dynamics within my family that need to be addressed, I never realized drinking was a form of tolerating it. I’m naturally extroverted so I thought parties and dancing was gonna be different, it was an adjustment but I still like to be outgoing and boogie, I just had to do it without alcohol, I find good substitutions in weed or psychedelics though as my tool to unwind when I need it
Avoid cocaine Limit my drinking Focus in school better instead of partying Go therapy Been patient enough to grow a meaningful relationship with someone special but I was too egoistical to see it then Learn music Workout and not gain weight from excessive drinking and eating
