Going for day 4, my longest stretch since September.

Been reading Alcohol Explained by William Porter, and I think it's helping me put things in context, separate out the various uncomfortable feelings going on in my body/ mind...

Another day 1 for me. Not feeling well, probably just a stomach bug, but I always worry it's something more serious ๐Ÿ˜’ I will not drink any alcohol today ๐Ÿซถ

Big exam went ok yesterday. I did drink afterwards with friends, but then I came home and didn't have any more, which feels like progress for me.

And I'm keen to get right back to alcohol free life today, to keep feeling that energy, better sleep, being more present for my family, and not to feel all anxious and sweaty for starting my new job in a few weeks.

Just lying here trying to get myself together to get up after a rubbish last few hours of sleep with my heart racing. Big exam tomorrow, so really hope tonight's sleep will be better. IWNDWYT ๐Ÿ˜„

Only managed one day last time, but I'm still thinking about it, listening to podcasts, thinking how nice it would be to not have to drink every day...

I'm back reading through this community after a long break of not coming here. IWNDWYT.

Early Wed morning here, I want to commit to not drinking again today. I've been back on it since Sat, after my best run ever of 17 consecutive AF days. Really noticing how I feel low- level crappy and tired all morning, even if I don't "have a hang- over". Just getting through normal stuff is more of a struggle, which is part of why I feel like I've earned my drinks as soon as I get in the door in the afternoon. I know it won't be easy at that point in time today to stick to this, but I've got my AF alternatives in the fridge, and I'm writing here to set that intention...

IWNDWYT. Day 12 for me, feeling good.

Going back into my full-time work routine tomorrow, after a break. Looking forward to establishing new habits for when I get home at the end of the day, rather than using alcohol to try to relax.
