Made it 28 days and here are my thoughts
Stopped drinking because thankfully health reasons made me. Now those are tamed for the moment and I decided to test alcohol today.. I said I’d ease into it and absolutely did not.
Here are some notes I’ve taken throughout the day after 4 weeks of feeling great not drinking:
First day drinking 2/02:
- Drank far less water
- much more tired
- Increased appetite
- less motivation
- Desire to drink more quickly returned
- Increased anxiety
- Unnecessey jealousy
- listening to more music
- Less tv
- Thoughts of dread/future not experienced recently
- Noticeable stumbling
- Noticeable slurring
- isolation latter half of day/not responding to messages I normally would have/disconnect from people I love
I’ve been enjoying NA beers/mocktails this month, so I’m not sure why I did this or why it escalated so much, but here I am
