It's the first Saturday I've woken up without a hangover in years. Took the pup for a short hike, then deep cleaned my kitchen and made some guac. Overall great day so far. Thanks for letting me post here every day while I'm so early in my journey, it's been oddly comforting.

I will not drink with you today!
Weeks away from two years 🙌
Hell yeah! Any tips for those of us early into the journey?
Replace it with a good habit.
Whenever I get a craving to drink or smoke weed or eat junk, or whatever I do something like eat a healthy snack, go for a hike, work out, etc. Or some other hobby or activity you enjoy.
Also, I don't drink it nearly as much now, due to all the sugar, and doing the keto diet, but when I first quit drinking, I replaced it with Kombucha, and was drinking stupid amounts when I'd otherwise be drinking.
One, I love it. But I think the trace amounts of alcohol in it really helped satisfy my cravings, and kinda step therapy down.
But avoid those hard kombuchas if you're gonna go that route. They actually led me to fall of the wagon a couple times thinking I could handle them, and next thing you know I'm mixing them with tequila... Good luck fam
Awesome, thank you and congrats!
congratulations!
rainy saturday, got nothing done. pretty good day.
