6 months feels like confirmation bias “I feel good today, it must be because of quitting 6 months ago”, assuming these people weren’t debilitated alcoholics it seems like they probably can’t remember that far back

It sounds about right here. I thought I had lifelong depression/anxiety, but it disappeared totally around 6 months of being sober.
