one week sober

[aold]

and I feel so much better after only a week.
i’m looking better, feeling better, have more money and wake up without the feeling of self loathing following another heavy night on the wine.

I was going to moderate but think I might just abstain indefinitely.
Hooefully I’ll lose some weight soon too.
I was drinking a bottle of red wine about 6 times evenings a week so that’s alot of empty calories!

You Go! Keep it up.

Well done, it’s not an easy thing to do 👏

Well done that’s a great achievement and if you can abstain rather than moderating then I’d go for it! Moderating is hard when you’ve had a drink and you feel great for not drinking so I’d try and continue with that

Well done. One week is a huge achievement. One day at a time is all it takes to break a habit.

Keep going. You're doing great. 🥰

(Edited for typo)

That’s amazing! Well done!

(Have you calculated how much money you’ve saved this week? You could buy yourself a treat.)

Yes!!! That is great. Well done.

any tricks you can share?

Well done. The physical cravings last 1-2 weeks. It sounds like you’re over it already. Now to consolidating this with different and better habits.

Well done op! That is great

Hello everyone. Hope you don’t mind me hopping on this thread.
I’vr quit alcohol before the longest for 3 months but always went back. I don’t drink every day but when I drink I drink and don’t know when to stop, I suffer with anxiety anyway for to hormonal imbalances (early menopause) which the dr has finally prescribed me HRT for but alcohol makes my anxiety so so much more worse, I regularly have blackouts where I don’t remember half or sometimes even the whole of the night. I’ve said things and hurt people that I don’t even remember saying and don’t know even why I said it. I’ve decided now is the time to completely abstain from alcohol. It’s not easy living in a mummy wine society so hoping to chat and share experiences and ideas with likeminded people will help me through any challenges that may lay ahead. I want to feel better and be better. Any success stories, strategies, or just general advice is so welcome over this way xx
