Day eleven, I have been able to overtake three afternoons & evenings alone and entertained with films and books. Very happy of being sober and a bit pride.

Loneliness is a great enemy of alcoholics, you know.

Kind regards, happy twenty four hours!

Thanks !! Iā€™m literally trying to not go buy a monster right now. Itā€™s no different than alcohol it feels like sometimes with energy drinks and just trying to change the way I feel. But for today I think I can go without them. I think Iā€™ve had too much caffeine in general lately.

And yeah thrift stores are awesome. I just moved to a different part of town so Iā€™m trying to find some new Shops ā€¦ I need a good book to get lost in!

Hope youā€™re having a good day

Iā€™ve just realised that I have had no caffeine for 6 days as well as no alcohol. I have a Bosh coffee maker that uses the little pods but I fancied a mug of tea on my first day to change my routine a little. Which was decaf tea and then when I get to work its decaf coffee.

Perhaps I was using the coffee as easy start to get me going every morning after the antics the day before then it just became habitual?

It certainly explains why Iā€™ve been sleeping better and genuinely have more energy for longer on a daily basis.

I have ate more fruit and vegetables and lost 2lbs in the last week which is great as Iā€™d put a few on since Iā€™d stopped smoking.

Ideally 165lbs or 75kg is my healthy weight and shouldnā€™t take too long to reach that. I walk at least 15 miles every day but the difference now is Iā€™m doing with a smile on my face and loving every step I take. :slightly_smiling_face:. Hope you all enjoy your day today.

Day 9 :white_flower::heart_decoration::purple_heart:
Yesterday I had a very dark and negative mood or call it depressive episodeā€¦ I was crying or just staring at the wall, lying around.
Anywayā€¦ I did not drinkā€¦ During this first day and even night of emotional negativity and despair! I did not choose this regular wayā€¦ To drink! I am very proud.

Today I just had a few minutes with cravings in the afternoon. In the evening I was absolutely sure, not to drink tonight!!! And I didnā€™t!! Yeaha

Today I had a super cool swim of 2800 meters splitted in two partsā€¦ But anyway, in craaaaazy pace today! I love my fitness watch.
It was fun and after that i visited my parents and we made a delicious meal (posted photo in foodies United :yum:)ā€¦

Overallā€¦ I am proud!
