Not sure exactly how many days it's been, but I've been alcohol-free for roughly 4 months now.

My secret: get a doctor to tell you that your incurable autoimmune disease can get worse due to alcohol.

In all seriousness though, I've wanted to quit years ago, but now I'm glad I've got a legit excuse, which is also convenient to give to my friends and colleagues: "sorry mate, doc said that I can't drink, autoimmune condition and all...".

Made it through my first sober weekend in years. This is Day 9 for me. I don't imagine today will be too difficult as we've been doing "Sober Sunday" for a while now.

Y'know, wanting to be all refreshed for the work week ahead. Of course, that idea usually broke down on either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on the week, so, πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. An attempt was always made, I suppose.

Seeing all the progress others have made on this board is hella motivating, and very inspiring. I'm feeling good about how well this attempt has been going. We got this! We can do this!

IWNDWYT!
