-Wake up and have a protein bar
-Walk the dogs for at least a mile, 2 miles if it isn’t too hot.
-Workout at home since gyms are still closed
-Drink a protein shake
-Coffee
The rest just depends on the day and what needs to be done, but it doesn’t involve drinking anymore!!

Me too. you should read ‘the power of habit’. You can basically hack your life with habitual positive routines.

That’s awesome. I also love my mornings now. There was never a good morning when I was drinking, now that I’ve actually lived the good ones.
What helped you stick to the routine?

I like building routines slowly. I am a firm believer in baby steps. I don’t beat myself up if my body says sleep in or no running today…I have learned to listen and trust myself. Now that I don’t drink, I no longer lie to myself. I know my truth and I respect and listen to my body mind and soul…I treated my self so poorly for so long…treating myself with loving kindness and compassion keeps me happy and healthy. My morning routine helps sustain that. ❤
