John Mayer’s Twitter account is a source of many things for his 1.26 million followers: fresh perspectives about gun control, bizarre Kanye West theories, an online romance with Nicki Minaj, and many other 140-character dispatches that can inspire either laughs or some real thought (and sometimes both). Today, he took to Twitter to share a celebratory bit of personal news: Today marks the one-year anniversary of Mayer deciding “to give drinking a break”:
“One year ago today, I decided to give drinking a break. A very personal thing for everyone. For me, a constant return on investment. I post this because I want people to know that ‘that’s enough for now’ is on the menu, so to speak.”

Mayer previously revealed that he gave up alcohol, telling Rolling Stone in June that he replaced drinking with smoking weed:
“I put it where drinking used to go, and the quality of life has gone up considerably. Drinking is a f*cking con. How much is enough? Every time I drank, I was looking for some sort of regulated amount. It always feels wrong for me. I always feel like I went overboard. ‘I said two, now it’s three, now we’re at four?’ I never had a serious issue with it, but I remember looking around going, ‘This feels rigged. I’m taking a break. There’s never an amount that felt like I was succeeding at life. It always felt wrong.'”
