601 Days Sober (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I forgot to celebrate day 600 yesterday so it's 601 today. :)

Edit : what it’s done:

My tachycardia instantly stopped. My liver is healthy and functioning again. Sleep has greatly improved. 15 pounds lost without trying. Everyone says I look more alive. No more waking up in the morning grabbing my phone to see who and what I texted the night before. I can get my nails done every other week with the money I saved (and more, had to have been $250 a month at least) I am on fire at my job. That’s off the top of my head. 😁

That's so great, especially those first two. Im just over 4 months and this really helps so thanks so much for sharing!!

Four months is an accomplishment!!! For me, Starting around 7-8 months is when it became “normal” not to think about it (besides the Checkin!)

The morning after detective work on the phone was some of the worst.

Life is better this way ain't it?

It is! I am now raising my niece and I could never have done it drinking.
