Day five

This is my 5th day straight without a drink. However, the weekend monster is here and that's when I DRANK the most.
Aside from some insomnia I feel good!
Once I make it through this weekend, I will be in the clear. My bday is on the 13th of next month, I will be 30 days sober then. This has been my plan all along, to wake up sober and healthy on my birthday and to keep it going one day at a time.

How's everyone holding up?

You got this man. Weekends are a pain but if you stay busy it helps. Get to some meetings. I know you can do it.

Thank you. My blood pressure is ok, I'm eating healthy as well and drinking tons of water.

That is good. My bp spiked when I quit and insomnia lasted about five nights

Hi Arie! Congratulations! Like Steven said, staying busy on the weekends is super helpful in staying sober. And have a variety of activities planned with people who support your sobriety. Trying to avoid things that trigger the drinking mind. Good luck!

Man, I'm so happy for you! How are you feeling? Your body and mind?

I am feeling good. I am really enjoying the mornings with no hangover. Still figuring out how to fill my time gaps. Other than that it has been okay. AA online has helped a lot

Oh and I have more energy even though I gained weight after quitting. I will tackle that next. Focusing on not drinking now
