0.000 HBDRollie back on track | Immigrant notes | How I ended up not drinking alcohol for 24 consecutive days
 Alright, this is gonna be that confession blog. Not even gonna use the #beersaturday tag this time — but big respect to @Detlev for building such a solid community here on Hive! 🍻 When the war started, I spent four months in a tiny Carpathian village near one of the best breweries I’d been involved with for a couple of years. I was drinking 4–5 beers a day, every single day — mostly just to deal with the stress. Eventually, I managed to escape the “most democratic prison in the world” and settled in Prague — aka beer heaven, with delicious local brews and heavy, tasty (but not exactly healthy) food. So yeah, I had plenty of both. At some point, it turned into a cycle: getting totally wasted twice a week, spending two days recovering, then repeating. Again and again. Mentally I was fried — always tired, anxious, couldn’t concentrate. My weight hit 107 kg. Felt like I was just wasting my life. And all that with full responsibility still on my shoulders — finances, family, trying to keep things steady. I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. The results? High blood pressure. High blood sugar. High cholesterol. I went through a few treatment courses, but nothing helped — I was still drinking like before. Then one day I just said: enough. In February 2025, I joined a gym and started going like clockwork — didn’t miss a single session for two months. Still drinking, but way less — because training and alcohol just don’t mix. Simple as that. Then came another round of tests. Weight was dropping, but blood markers were still crap. And that’s when I decided to flip the table. 24 days without alcohol. Down 8,5 kg from my ATH))) So far, so good. My blood pressure is now 120/60. I realized I’m just not the “one beer” kind of guy. So I made a clean cut. Plan is to keep going like this till autumn, retest everything, and see how far I’ve come. In the meantime — adding some strength training at home, lots of walking, biking, and eating clean. Can’t wait for autumn. #### If you live in Czech Republic or just love the vibes - come join our Telegram community https://t.me/+XpKdo49n9JRkYTUy #### Also you might wanna follow me on Instagram for some gags and Prague photos https://www.instagram.com/rollieateprague/ #### We are also on the TikTok as a Prague Daily Shorts https://www.tiktok.com/@praguedailyshorts #### Wanna highlight your social media with a custom made vinyl tag Shop at our ETSY store - https://praguecuts.etsy.com (you can easily buy stuff with HBD, just DM me for a discounted price)
