I just did a 7 day stint without a drink at all. I've not done this for the last 20 or so years.
Let me just say right off that my short term goal is to get my drinking under control. Committing to never drinking again is something I'm not ready for. For the last 7 days though the mantra "I may fail, but not today" has helped me through.
I was tired of the life I lead, believing that I was having a great time hanging out with the people at the bar, while in fact, I made no progress in my personal life whatsoever. Drink, sleep, work, drink etc.
I noticed that when I'm sober, I'm much more interested in my surroundings, I've started to exercise a little, I may even take some classes to advance in my job.
It's tough. But it's so worth it.
Good luck everyone!
