Thanks, I'm integrating meditation into my life now. I've bought a lot of gear as well to compliment my new way of life (Smart watch, Smart digital scales) and stocking up with plenty of fruit and veg. I've never realised how great oranges taste, its been more than 20 years since I tried them.
Still going strong with it all and will continue to post some updates. On the 7th I had the rest of that beer. Nothing drunk since then until yesterday where I had half a 330ml can with dinner as a treat and today finished it off after a very productive day with getting shopping in and picking up the dogs meds.
Symptoms were bad and usually I'd go to the pub but I thought "nope, I don't want to be drunk, I've got that bit of beer left as a treat and can have a curry tonight".
Without the drink as it was, I've been getting up at 730am every morning. No more this week as a treat anyway, just 2 days of being out and about then a weekend to get on with exercise and trying my hand at some cooking.
