9 months no alcohol!
It’s insane that the further away you get from your last drink you want your next one less and less
You also develop new habits and routines that don’t involve drinking
And you gain new memories of sober activities to replace the memories of the party past

8 months ago today I decided to give up alcohol
It was a good decision
It was a life changing decision
I’ve gained better sleep
Better attitude
More enjoyment of social activities
More energy
It’s definitely better financially
I’m going to keep this train on the tracks

Seven months no alcohol
I’m amazed at the amount of freedom I have gained by giving up alcohol
I’m free from poor sleep
I’m free from embarrassing conversations the next morning
I’m free from doing beer runs
Ive found I’m less focused on me and more on others
I’m happier

It’s been a good 6 months
I never thought dry January would last this long but I’m glad it has
Now on to the next milestone: one day at a time #sobersky

Today is 5 calendar months and 152 days with no alcohol
It’s been an eye opener
I’ve never felt better
I don’t miss it. But there are moments I do
I’ve also been reflecting on the behaviors I had while drinking
I feel embarrassed and ashamed
I don’t want to feel like that again

Happy Monday, it's a great day to be sober 😊
I have learned that my actions are far more important than my thoughts.

Today is day 112 of no alcohol
16 weeks flew by
I feel great
Sleep well
My singing voice has improved
Last night was tough. I fired up the grill for the first time and boy did I miss cracking open a beer. But I didn’t
It’s amazing what triggers the craving

105 days no alcohol! Or should I say 15 weeks
I’ve been thinking a lot about my relationship with alcohol Its lopsided to be sure. It steals your health, relationships, reputation, in return for a little “fun”
The cost is to high to stay in that relationship and I’m glad I’m out

90 days have come and gone I feel great although I’ve gained about 5 lbs (I’m eating better I think) but spring is coming and I can get outside again instead of walking indoors
That should help
This has been overall a very positive change

84 days no alcohol
12 weeks
This has been a huge positive change. I do miss having a beer sometimes but it’s less frequent
I’m hesitant to set long term goals like one year because I know that one day at a time is the way to go so I’ll stay with that for now

49 days no alcohol
It’s weird I’m starting to think in weeks rather than days. I started dry Jan early and kept it going. It was a challenge to see if I could do it and I met the goal. I like the results I’d like to have a drink on weekends but I don’t trust myself yet.
I’ll continue on. #sobersky

Day 37 no alcohol
I’ve been reading about “what comes next” after dry January.
I don’t know
What I do know is that I feel good, sleep better, and am more relaxed and free of stress than I’ve been in a long time
Will I never drink again?
I don’t know. But I’m going to keep this going a while longer
