Good news from the Dr.
Good news from the Dr.
Hi all. I have not been on much this week because I did not feel like I had much good to say.
I went to my Dr on February 24th and I quit drinking the next day. If all goes well and I keep alert and aware I will have three weeks sober tomorrow.
I have lost 15 pounds and my blood pressure has come down to the point that the Dr is tapering me off the blood pressure meds.
I figured out that with the vodka and mixer I was consuming 2500 calories a day just in drinking. That does not count the calories I added by making bad food choices.
I don't feel like drinking at all but I know how sneaky alcohol can be so I am keeping my guard up.
To any of you starting out and are having a hard time please hang in there and keep coming here.
I had so many day ones that I was embarrassed to post trying anymore.
Don't do that. Don't ever quit trying to quit.
Thanks to you all
