New Day 1

Well yesterday was my first day without any alcohol. Had been tapering down for a little while and decided to take the plunge.

Thanks everyone for the support!

Not terrible although some anxiety is creeping in as usual. I wasn't drinking as much this time and tapered a bit so I think that helped. I know it'll be a rollercoaster for a while and two things I remembered doing last time to help was sleeping a lot (or just laying around if not asleep) and hitting the gym (mostly cardio).

I’m a big video game player and had stopped enjoying that as much with the drinking. Also have some reading I want to get caught up on.

Doing things is good but I think a successful recovery plan needs a little more, Plure?

It went pretty well, haven’t really had any cravings yet just a little discomfort on the physical side, but making it a point to take it easy (even though I ended up being pretty productive).
