Having a nice sober Sunday. Went for a nice 3 mile run this morning and I’ve been eating clean today too. Feeling focused and positive, and reminding myself all of the positives of not drinking.
-no hangover
-more energy
-face and skin looks better
-blood pressure was 150/90. Back to 115/80. Amazing.
-resting heart rate was 80 BPM, now 68.
I’ve been drinking enough water to sink a battleship.
My sleep isn’t great yet, but it’s better to wake up with no hangover with less sleep.
I’ve always told myself I drink because I like the taste of beer or whiskey. I think it’s I don’t dislike the taste, if that makes sense, but the problem is I’ve been using it to self medicate. I’d love to be able to have one or two, and then stop, but I just don’t have that ability. If it’s one, one turns into 5 during the week, and on the weekend, one turns into 8 or 9.
Anyway, that’s my thoughts a week into this. I’ve just got to take this a day at a time, and keep moving forward.
