Great job Brian, the ball is now rolling. Good for you.
I don't want to derail the thread, but many people mention waking up earlier when not drinking and sleeping late when drinking. I was the complete opposite. When drinking on the weekends I would pop up incredibly early and be wide awake almost immediately. When not drinking, I slept so sound it was tough getting out of bed. I think it was related to blood pressure, since when drinking it would get pretty high, which in turn made me high strung. Anyone else experience this?
