A whole day done without booze

Not going to lie, am pretty chuffed about it too, given how hard I found it earlier in the week to the point I failed.

I think knowing how hard it was going to be helped this time.

Going for a walk after work also greatly helped, even though it was raining, that break between getting up from the laptop and thinking about unwinding was really important to not send me straight into the arms of booze.

So I’m pretty pleased with that,

Heck, felt pretty great this morning, didn’t struggle to get off to sleep, woke up, and actually got up without snoozing 12 times. Did I want a drink last night? Yes, but it wasn’t overwhelming. In some ways, I distracted myself with carbs and the inner debate around not going back for another slice of sourdough. Not sure my waistline is going to tolerate that in the long run, but heck, whatever helps right now.

I don’t know what I’m going to do tonight, am out for dinner so I imagine that will involve boose… the important thing is I’ve nothing in the house, so I should be fine when I get home.

Baby steps, but I’m happy I’ve proved to myself I really can do a day even if it means a walk in the pouring rain
