Day 3 today

Another restless night but have got up today feeling slightly better, and making my pledge again i do not and will not drink !!!! im so bloated though its horrible. When i think of all the money ive spent over the years on diets and health supplements to lose weight yet the only time i actually did was when i was sober for 3 months. Looking fprward to seeing my health improve. And hopefully my bank balance as money i wasted at weekend was stupid.
im still bit stressed out with work colleagues putting pressure on mr to go out friday but im sticking to my guns and saying no, i dont feel up to it anyway and 100% certain i do not want alcohol entering my body !!!

There are so many heath benefits to being sober.
Afterjust a couple of weeks your skin and eyes become healthy and brighter.

I remember at the detox centre thinking ooh that guy looks really rough like a ‘real ‘alcoholic.
Anyway after 2 weeks he and everyone else in the group looked noticeably better and would pass for ‘normal’

As with my health my bank balance is healthy now.

You can have all of this and more if you keep doing what you’re doing.
Well done on making it to day 3

Try to think of some positive things and this will help to train the cognitive side of things.

Morning tink, well done on day 3😄 . I hope that your feeling ok today. I think your doing the right thing in not going out Friday night, it will just make you anxious. Putting yourself first is the most important thing you can do right now. Just think about today an not tomorrow, I have faith that you can do this...
Keep going mate, your not on your own ok 🙏💖

Well done 👍🏻 you should really start to feel better now...day 3 was when I really started to feel better, but try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Sobriety first- everything else will fall into place.

Good work! Not trying to be negative but I hope that bloat is actual bloat and not ascites like I had for a short period of time. Watching them drain 5.5 liters of fluid from my abdominal cavity was a trip!

How could you tell a difference from Ascites and just bloat? Just curious. Hope you are feeling okay, congrats on your sober time!! Keep up the great work!!

I'd think you'd need a doctor for that.

Most times a bloat is just a bloat but TB if you're worried see your Doc.
