Hi friends,
This is day 3 for me. Quitting to be healthier. Not sure why this year I slowly started to drink more frequently until I was pretty much a daily drinker. Each time I decided I should cut back, it lasted a day and then resumed. I am scared at what this may have done to my body, but not willing to go to the Dr until I have been sober for 30 days. I am too embarrassed to have blood tests showing how much I have been drinking over the last year. I am working out daily, eating healthy and not drinking. No physical cravings and sleeping has been fine which surprised me. Just that evening desire to get a buzz on. I think my eyesight has been improving a bit. I know it has deteriorated a bit this year. Really scared I have done permanent damage. My energy level has increased a bit. No headaches, but I only got those when I drank A LOT. Glad not to have those morning worries...not quite sure if I remembered going to bed and did my husband or kids know I was drunk? ANXIETY...oh I do not miss you! HUGE relief not to deal with you when I wake up. I do not want to be there again. Ok...this was good. I feel stronger in my resolve to stay sober just by listing out the positives. Good night all and enjoy a restful sober sleep.

Day 4 in the bag! I was on my way to the gym this evening, stopped at a light. I looked at myself in the mirror on my visor because I had not put on any makeup today and was concerned with how I might look. No bags under my eyes! No make up, no concealer and NO BAGS. I have been wearing so much make up this last year to cover up dark circles and new bags and VOILA! They were gone. 
WOW.
WOW.
