Becoming weary of alcohol happens in an instant.

For that one instant, I made a lot of preparations.

The most important preparation was investing in a bar.

In fact, truly quitting drinking isn't about suddenly vowing to stop.

It's about gradually drinking less or even not drinking at various gatherings.

Until your friends around you know that you really don't drink.

Not drinking doesn't affect relationships, nor does it stop me from setting the tone at the bar.

That's when you've really quit drinking.
