I am doing very well. I will say at times I worry about letting my guard down. I stay focused. I read ALOT! I clean, go get coffee and people watch and oh I cook ALOT!! I love how clear I can see. I’m much more calm and confident, my skin looks healthier… this list goes on. Excepting this is my life now and I’m embracing every bit of it!
A little tip:
Think of Drinking as an allergy that if consumed will kill you. Just as a peanut allergy would. You may love the idea of being about to eat a peanut butter jelly sandwich but you just CAN’T! Same as Booze!
Day 6 and I have the feeling off IF I go back to that life and start to believe the voice that tells me "it’s okay you can have a few"and "sure you’ll be grand few pints"that I will start to doubt off ever beaten it…
The time is now, I know I can’t drink and at 34 years old I haven’t the energy to keep drink in my life…
Best of luck everybody
P.s there is no in-between drink leads to destruction off everyone amd everything around you and sobriety will result in freshness and having a exciting life…
And yes, thinking of alcohol as the poison it actually is helps me a lot. Even tho I enjoyed it a lot, I also paid a dear price in my physical and mental health.
Keeping busy and doing things I actually enjoy makes me happy too! Keep up the good work. Continue learning and sharing and we can all find a better life without alcohol.
