17 days of no alcohol as of last night.

Last night was one of the tougher nights.

ended up at the local pizza place & I just wanted a beer to go with our meal and that just got stuck in my head the whole time

got past it, but a good reminder it will be hard for a while and unexpectedly sometimes

Amidst all the chaos in my hometown, I have gone 14 days with no alcohol.

Halfway through January and honestly have no interest in stopping.

I like being present and not sneaking drinks on the side and I like waking up without a hangover.

10 days dry as of yesterday.

If there was ever a time I might want a drink it would be now with everything going on in my hometown of Mpls but making it through on my own is a better option.

A belated note to say day 8 went just fine but life is chaotic right now so if I miss a day this weekend don’t worry. I probably just ran out of time to share my progress.

thought I would be more anxious around hitting a weekend with all the triggers they could bring but honestly feeling very good

And with yesterday, I am a week alcohol free.

With the things happening in my hometown of MPLS, it tested me but I’m sticking to my guns.

And the reason I keep mentioning alcohol vs saying sober is that I haven’t decided what my relationship to THC will be after this month. Need time to think

A belated note to call out 6 days of no booze.

It’s interesting that I thought I would feel a bunch better but that has yet to materialize.

My legs have just been dead in my peloton workouts even with a rest day behind them.

It doesn’t shake my resolve but I am surprised

5 days of no alcohol done and yesterday was probably the easiest day even if I was also busy at a board meeting most of the night.

It’s interesting to start thinking who I am post alcohol since I’ve been considered a cocktail and whiskey expert to my friends for so long.

Yesterday was day 4 of not drinking and it was honestly the easiest yet.

I was busy all day and had to scramble to get dinner on the table before taking the 13yo to baseball which helped for sure but usually after that kind of day it was nice to relax with a whiskey at the end of the night.

Day 3 (& most of day 4) with no booze.

Was surprised how much I kissed having a glass of wine or beer while making a more involved meal which is our usual Saturday evening.

I suspect there are lots of small triggers coming as I go back to work this week

Day 2 of no drinking done.

The first Friday night so I was worried but a couple La croixs filled in the muscle memory.

I’ve considered having some N/A beverages around but feel like need at least a week of nothing that even mimics booze before that.

This account has sat unused & almost forgotten so let’s try this here.

I’ve been uncomfortable with the amount of drinking I’ve been doing recently so I decided to do something about it this year.

I don’t know if it’s dry January or if it’s forever but yesterday was day 1, so that’s a start

This is how the Jedi Order was forgotten.

Went on an insane 10-1 tournament run to finish top 4 with my favorite fighting deck earlier this week!

Check out some of the best wins, and losses, from the run in today's highlight! These games do a great job of highlighting the depth of play Pocket has.
