Made it through my first night. Had some trouble sleeping. I guess my body is used to passing out rather than falling asleep. I do feel a lot more energetic today. It's amazing how much better you feel when you aren't poisoning your body.
I went to the bank today and opened a savings account. I decided that I would reward myself by transferring $5 from checking to savings each day as a reward for not drinking. I figure I spent at least that much nightly on booze, so it shouldn't change my budget any. Now I can look forward to saving that money for something special for me. Hoping the extra motivation will help keep me strong!
