Hi everyone,
I have been a fairly heavy drinker for the last 10 years. When I would drink I would do so until the bottle (usually wine) or beers were all gone. For some reason, I could not just drink one or two and be happy. I would convince myself that it's fine..just finish it, after all I thought I was having a good time numbing my thoughts and feelings.
On the 19th of June, I decided that was it, I was tired of my energy being zapped after a night of drinking. I couldn't see the value in drinking, it was a short term gain for the next few days of tiredness + various body pains. I was over feeling unproductive and sluggish.
I am now on my 7th day (12.50am), so only 50min in and AF, and loving it! I went out after work tonight being a Friday and surprisingly did not even feel like drinking. I thought I would struggle and cave but had no urge (for the first time in years!). I really think the first few days are the hardest and now it's much easier to say no.
My energy level remained up all night with friends while they were drinking and getting a little slower and not as quick witted. I got home feeling healthy and awake, not tired and bloated.
I know it's only been approx 7 days but I'm loving this new life full of energy. Now I just need to maintain this! I was doubtful about making it through tonight but I did & know there will be no hangover in the morning, so anything is possible, hello AF life!
Thanks for reading !
