NO ALCOHOL FOR 7 DAYS

I’m hoping to try and go 1 week without consuming any alcoholic beverages. I think it would do me a lot of good. I’m working on loosing weight and building muscle. Started going to the gym again. I feel like taking a break from drinking might help me feel less bloated. I know consuming beer takes that kind of toll. Overall I think the aftermath of alcohol affects my mood negatively. I don’t credit all of it to alcohol. But I think it may be a contributing factor. I hate the idea of becoming an alcoholic or even dependent on alcohol in order to relax and/or have a good time. Could definitely use some people to talk to in the mean time. Especially if any of you decide on taking on the same goal? If anyone has gone through something similar in this sort of cleanse, I would love to hear any tips and suggestions as how you managed.

 

ahhh.. junkfood. My other enemy haha. Tonight after working out i stopped by and picked up some chicken broth. Figured that might help me stay away from junkfood, or food in general (as I tend to bored eat). Also going to try and get back to drinking more hot tea. Thats what i grew up doing before alcohol took place haha. Its really not that big of an issue, but combined with a few different things, its time for a change. So just try my best to do better for my body. It deserves better.

 

Haha that’s a terrible mindset. But I know it haha. Thankfully tequila won’t go bad if you let it sit in the bottle for a while
I have plenty bottles sitting around haha.
I think my choice is usually some type of beer or lately it’s been reds apple wicked drinks. Which one gets me plenty good in the evening. My thing is just that it’s become like a daily thing, having a couple drinks before bed. I haven’t really given my body many days in between drinking every night before. And that can’t be healthy. Let me know if you decide to join in! Haha. Going to diner tonight with my bf and meeting a friend. That’ll be the real challenge because we’re going to a bar for dinner. Gonna focus on drinking my hot tea like I used to haha. But this friend of ours drinks quite a bit more than me haha. So it’s gonna be interesting resisting to follow along lol. But I’m really looking forward to dinner. Just focusing on that thought. Fooood

 

Day 3! I know one week is really not that massive of a goal. And I know I can do it. But I chose to consider every day a small victory. Went out to dinner with my BF and a friend. No one drank. We had a wonderful time. And agreed that taking a break from drinking is a good idea. So one day at a time! At the gym this morning. Patting myself on the back big time today haha.

 

Hahaha I wasn’t sure if that was advice to me or yourself about finishing the tequila

 

I haven’t! I’m on day what, like 5 now? I’m home and kind of wishing I could have a drink. But I haven’t really thought about that much. It’s just like what I would usually do while watching some breaking bad before bed.

 

So far on Day 6! Determined to go full 7 days. Which means no alcohol until Sunday. And I have not smoked any weed either. But I do that a lot less often so not nearly as difficult to resist. But tempting haha.
