Jan. 1-5, 2020
So I meant to start this blog on the 1st day of 2020 but I'm lazy and well, it's the 5th so here I am. I quit drinking after decades of debauchery and this is long, long overdue. It was also a long time coming...I had started watching countless inspiring videos of guys and girls who had quit drinking and recounting their experience and how great they felt and how much more in control of their lives they felt. I was feeling like crap all the time, numerous serious injuries I sustained over the years were all connected to alcohol and I even ended up in ICU (Intensive Care Unit) for a week after suffering from seizures that almost killed me; I also shattered my shoulder when I collapsed because of the seizures and 3 years later I'm still dealing with serious shoulder pain and problems. Yep...isn't alcohol FUN? So awesome !!!!! NOT. I noticed my general anxiety was up as well, and knew I basically had to quit drinking. Period. I should also mention that alcoholism runs in my family. So, going to keep these posts very short and to the point.
Day: 1 (Wednesday, Jan 2020): Was so tired from New Year's (drank of course) that I just vegged all day on couch and had no problem not drinking. Would have liked a coffee but nope, cutting that out as well.
Day 2: (Thursday, Jan. 2020): 1st day of work for the year; went to gym after work and did a spinning class; felt amazing after.. No withdrawal symptoms at all.
Day 3: (Friday, Jan. 2020). Felt strange to not drink on a Friday but my spouse and I both decided to not drink. No issues. Went to gym and did an upper body workout. Felt amazing of course.
Day 4: (Saturday, Jan. 2020): Same as day before. No drink, no issues. Watched 2 great movies, both with Denzel Washington: Unstoppable and Man on Fire. Man he is great!
Day 5: (Sunday, Jan. 2020): Feeling strangely serene about my decision to quit drinking and for some reason this time it feels really different. In the past when I tried to quit drinking, it's all I could think about. Right now all I can think about is my liver shrinking, detoxing, skin improving, energy levels increasing, etc. Truth be told, I'm feeling tired last few days and I think that's the caffeine withdrawals. Been watching TONS of videos on youtube to keep inspiring me not to drink and focus on fitness.
