Day 6. Maybe instead of updating this thread I'll just make a blog.😁 Bumping this daily is going to be like making people watch what I eat on Facebook! Last night was tougher than the previous nights. I felt really good so the voice was telling me drinking would make me feel great, and since I felt so good what could it hurt? I managed though, and know it'll get worse before it get better. I slept well, still very tired in the mornings. Craving sugar for the first time....Ever for me. Literally never had a sweet tooth and now I'm craving anything sweet. Funny, but thats an easy one to ignore for me.

Weekend will likely be a bit of a struggle but I have a plan. Plus next week is a big one at work so have to be on point. See you all soon and have a great weekend.

I was exhausted the first few weeks after quitting. I also had a huge sugar craving. It died down after a few months. Except for ice cream - I still crave it.

Weekend is nearly over, it was very nice. Yesterday was still cold and I had a lot of errands to run, new car battery for my wife, groceries, new work shirts... So exciting. 😂😂 Made a nice dinner though (I love cooking).

Today I had to answer some client emails, did some photo editing of some recent vacation pics... It was finally sunny out so cleaned up the yard a bit. Mostly puttering and relaxing. Gonna clean myself up and watch the Walking Dead . So, pretty solid weekend.

I had a weird feeling today, about 2pm I realized I hadn't thought about drinking all morning. Pretty whacky. That said I had a strong urge tonight, likely since tomorrow is a busy day. I used to get drunk to forget I had a stressful Monday which of course would just make Monday worse. Funny how that works.

See you all tomorrow.

Hah, it's crazy how much I want ice cream. 😂😂😂 Weird thing is I have never had a sweet tooth in my life. Dried cranberries are doing the job for now.

Day 8. It was good until like 10 minutes ago! Long day at work, still an hour or so before I finish up... this is only the second day I've been back since I stopped drinking so it's a bit weird. Normally on the way home I'd stop and pickup some rum, head home and have a few drinks while cooking. I am actually looking for reasons to stay here late so I don't have time to stop and pickup booze. It's become such a routine I have to admit I am almost a little... I don't know, sad? Weird feeling, maybe sad isn't the right word because I do feel really good and honestly, eff booze... just a new thing I guess. I have trouble with change sometimes.

I think I need to give myself a goal. Like, maybe I say ok, I am going to make it past Easter. Then I will have something to really focus on and challenge myself with. I hate losing so I will have to win my little internal challenge. Eh, coping mechanisms, I guess I have to learn them!

I've often said "quitting drinking, is like ending a toxic relationship with a long term partner". Both are toxic and bad for you but,you will miss them until you fully 'move on'.
