Officially 24 hours since alcohol passed my lips

Feeling fantastic! I made the active decision yesterday to cut down ... following day I grew a pair and gave it my best shot and go cold turkey. Today has been good.

No issues. I've had some lack of motivation, lost my appetite a little but have still ate normally. Apart from that I'm rocking. I've been drinking lots of tea, and water.

1 down ... more to come. I actually look forward to waking tomorrow with no hangover. I always feel refreshed after a good sleep. Something which I haven't felt in a while.

Oh also some more amazing news. For the past 5 years I had pitting edema every time I drank. I'd be fine all day until I drank and then my feet would swell a little bit and feel a bit puffy. Well today I have non of that so proof alcohol causes edema for me and another thing to remind myself to not drink.

I wouldn't have stopped if I didn't register here. I feel like I've got a place to vent, and discuss, and even help others in some ways.

**** alcohol. Here's to a sober life.
