Not drinking after work

Although it’s really early to say as day one is only almost over. But I’m feeling hopeful. About this time past 9pm, when I finished work at 8pm I’d be on my 3rd beer. And then by 1am I’d be on my last beer which would normally be beer 11 by 1am. Wake up feeling like shit and the cycle continues. Tonight after I’ve posted this I am going to bed knowing I haven’t drank for a full day. Again it’s silly writing this as its only day one. But I feel hopeful. The cravings had been hard of course today. But I am fighting and using sleep as my distraction.

Goodnight and take care everyone I’ll post an update in a few days time to see where I am at. And hopefully still sober. Thank you for all the messages welcoming me it means a lot!

It is only day one but that day has to start somewhere. You’ve chosen today and you should be proud of that decision. I’m looking forward to reading your update on the success of a few days under your belt. Good luck!

Every day is only one day. Whether its your 1st, 23rd or 1000th it is still only one day. Each and everyone is worth celebrating, congratulating and sharing. That is all any of us have to do, be sober today.

What a fantastic achievement, going to bed sober! Congratulations :people_hugging:

It is not silly at all. Day one is your foundation. If you can manage day one you repeat the process again the next day and that is how you progress. :heart:
