Hey VikingGF,
I used exercise to the fullest when I stopped and still try to. I found that very hard cardio sessions would quash most of the desires to drink. I'd feel so relaxed afterwards, that it sort of took the place of booze. At least a little bit. I also hit it hard in an effort to reinvent myself, which I feel is key to being booze-free.
As far as your question, perhaps you're sleeping much deeper which results in more energy? I did notice that for myself. I went from five hours of sleep to 7+ and I felt a world of difference in the mornings. I never really had hangovers per se, but I did feel tired and zero energy in the morning. It's amazing how I feel now.
Whatever the case, it sounds like you're 'rocken' things. Nice job and congrats on the shedded pounds! Some of the
many benefits of not drinking.
Good for us for stopping.
Yes-yes!!!
