Made it to day 5! So many improvements already!
I made it to day 5 
An achievement for me. I had a minor setback last week (drank at families funeral). If it wasn't for the setback I'd approaching 2 weeks. Ah well.
Loads of positive things already though:
Those are the improvements I've already noticed since I quit. I have been getting a lot of anger, but a family member taught me how to channel it into something positive. ******* works too! Sorry for my swearing lol, I am just feeling so alive atm.
I'm so used to waking up feeling rough that this morning I woke up telling myself "urgh, morning, feel crap". And then I realised I haven't drank and I feel on top of the world. Best nights sleep I've had in ages.
I am logging this so if I ever feel like drinking again I shall read all these improvements and remind myself why I stopped.
I know I have a long way to go, and even though I slipped up and ended up at day 1, the days prior to the slip up have definitely had health benefits. There is no going back now. I can put my life on that. I don't want that life anymore. I don't want alcohol to hold me back and ruin my life. If I was an alien, and I observed earth people putting poison down their neck to feel a buzz ... or to deal with life ... I'd think they were insane and crazy. Yet, that was my life once.

- I no longer get edema in my feet

- Lower heartrate
- In the past 4 days my business has made more money than it did in the entire January month
- My poops are mostly normal
- I don't wake up with stomach ache
- Rarely have anxiety
- Improved skin and complextion
- My sex drive is raging constantly. I never wanted sex when I drank
- I had a full nights sleep last night and woke up refreshed
