Day 23

Hello everyone, it is day 23 for me without alcohol. In this time I have joined a gym, started eating right, and most of all no alcohol. I find when I am thinking about drinking I get up and go to the gym. This takes my mind off of it not to mention I have lost 20 pounds and my blood pressure has went from 150/100 to 120/75. My fasting glucose was 130 and it is now 90. Alcohol was going to kill me. This site sure has helped alot. I have not posted much but I read it alot. I am not turning back. Has anyone else seen these kind of health benefits so fast. thanks for reading have a great day

My biggest health benefit has been my mental health.

I no longer hate myself and have my self respect back, as well as the respect of my kids. The other health benefit has been the health of my dogs 'cause I give them much better care when sober.
