Positives of no alcohol

[Whatshername17]

I'm on day 18 of dry January after drinking almost every day for a long time. I did it because I knew it was so wrong to continue.i will drink again but I'm hoping to reduce consumption to just a couple of days a week.
Anyway, one thing that I've noticed is my hair! It was frizzy, just looked greasy and dull all the time. After just 18 days it feels softer and way less frizzy. It just looks healthier. My skin looks slightly better, less dull and dry.
I've gained weight however, as my sugar and just general food intake has increased. I snack more. But that's OK, I'll deal with that next month.

Has anyone else noticed changes like this so soon? Anything else?

Well done! I’m on day 3 and wondering what to expect.
hows it going now?

Here are the positives I feel in sobriety: I’ve been able to find peace and happiness and I don’t suffer much anymore and I get to feel useful to others and I’m honest and my motivations and intentions and thoughts changed and became more good and loving. I’m grateful because it’s like my whole life changed. I had to focus on doing the next right thing in sobriety, though

I don’t have to worry about getting a bottle, where the next bottle is coming from or if I’ve drunk too much of the bottle ( second one obviously, first bottle goes down without any worry).

Nice waking up on Saturday not having had a drink night before.

I had some red marks on my cheeks - not yet broken blood capillaries, but on their way. They’ve completely gone.
