Good morning, everyone!
Day 4 here. I really wanted to drink last night but I didn't. It should feel like a victory but it's just tiring. It was exhausting to fight through.
Speaking of exhausting, when I was drinking, I would get maybe 6.5 hours of not so great sleep and pop out of bed at 4:15 to work out. Now I'm going to bed earlier to avoid the urge, sleeping better, and barely dragging myself out of bed at 5:15. This happened last week before I slipped up, too. Anyone else?
Anyway - my recovery plan for the day:
I found another podcast I really like so now I have a couple to choose from. I will listen to them on my commute. I'm working with veterans today all day, which really makes me feel good and will not make me want to drink. This evening my husband has to work late so instead of our normal date-night, which normally includes a glass of wine or 2, I'm going to go for a run since I didn't get up in time this morning. Then I plan on trying to get some homework done, which will keep me from drinking until hopefully I'm so tired I just go to bed.
I am not drinking today.
