60 resting heart rate is fit sounds like you have great health that will only get better the longer you abstain from booze and smokes.
I'm just over 4 months sober and I found it took me a few weeks to stop getting random headaches. I sleep much better than the first couple of weeks but I still have some nights where I am wide awake at 2.30am. I read a book which usually puts me right back to sleep.
My mood swings seemed to settle in month 2-3. I'm female though so they can flare up once a month lol, that's normal though.
So far I have saved over $3500 just from drinking.
I believe the first 30 days are the toughest, both mentally and physically.
Nowadays I don't think about drinking much, obviously I do when I am on this site but it's not that I want to drink, this site reinforces why I stopped and to keep up my momentum.
Have you got any plans in place like therapy, journaling, AA, exercise etc to keep you focused and sober?
I haven't tried AA, but I have lots of other tools for my sober tool box and have found them to be very important.
Coming to this site regularly is one of them
