Morning all, hope you're feeling good today!
This stage always sees the thread at an interesting soup of posters who are variously: struggling, managing easily, slogging on, feeling good, feeling bored, disappeared from the thread, delighted with how it's going, or not noticing any benefits and wishing they hadn't bothered; there are also those who have slipped up and slunk out the back door, and those who have slipped up, fessed up and come back.
Well. As Alcohol Resistance Movement Dryness Promoter-in-Chief I say... well done if you're going strong. Well done if you're just going. Well done if you were dry for a while but have since stopped. Think DJ's done you no good? It absolutely has. Slipped up? You're forgiven without question. Used this thread sneakily on the quiet to help you moderate rather than be dry? Hope it's helped!
This is Day 23, so we have just over a week left. Having got this far, you'll certainly manage to the end.
So getting into Week 4. Dr Google informs me that:
As more water will have been absorbed rather than wasted, you are likely to have more hydrated-looking skin, as well as reduced dandruff and eczema. Removing alcohol from your diet for four weeks can also help to improve your liver function as your liver will start to shed excess fat
Also
Research has found that just four weeks without a drink can be enough to start lowering both blood pressure and heart rate. Your risk of type 2 diabetes has already started to reduce (in one study insulin resistance came down by an average of 28 per cent) and your cholesterol levels should be starting to lower.*
Some of you have already mentioned noticing some of these benefits. Fantastic!
BTW we're now (10 am on 23rd Jan)
72.3%
Of the way through. I think that means that we've all achieved an A grade already!
Keep going 💪💪
