Day 11

Yeah boy!!! Another dry friday in the ground.

3 more days and they say the alcohol will be out of my system. This AM i noticed I look a little leaner too.

Gonna have to gut it out today but I got this!!!!

Day 10

Double digits motherfucker!!!!

Longest streak yet. Totally loving my mornings. I feel less bloated too. 4 more days till my system is free of alcohol.

Day 9

Longest dry streak in a long time. I am feeling a lot better when I wake up. That seems to be the gold standard for me...my sleep. Waking up and feeling clear headed and stable has been magic. I love it.

5 more days and the alcohol should be all out of my system and hormones should be leveling out. My moods are better too. More even keel

Win-fucking-tastic!!!

Day 8

Into my second week now. 6 more days and the last bits if alcohol should be out of my system and my hormones should be leveling out

TBH im feeling more ‘even’ now. My mind is getting sharper and I’m not seeing thru the haze or fog. AND I didnt have any urges yesterday. As long as yesterday was traveling it is a relief not to have been consumed by needs for beer.

I feel less bloated now too. I’m actually enjoying waking up daily and feeling like I can handle the whole day.

Day 7

#dry July

1 week muthafucka! Totally awesome. Yesterday wasnt hard at all. Course I was distracted and tired lol. But i didnt have any urges. Dunno if that has something to do with the 24 hr fast I completed or...

Regardless One more week and all the alcohol should be out of my system and my hormones should be coming back into balance.

Sleep was ok last night. In a hotel so iffy bc od that but Waking up sober is the best feeling. None of that anxiety and rapid fire thoughts & guilt.

Loved my quiet mind this am.

Day 6

#dry July

Made it a whole weekend without beer. First one in a very very long time!!!

Saturday was tough. Like real tough. I noticed tho that if I had some sugar and a carbonated beverage the cravings went down.

But fuck man, this is huge.

I feel less bloated. And sleep last night was sound. I am really liking how I feel a little better every day

Day 4

#dry july

Almost didnt make it. Yesterday was a big urge to drink. I believe it was just a response to being home and then relaxing initially anyway. Probably still just waiting till the alcohol is out of my system and hormones get back in balance. 2 weeks. And everything I’ve read is that this week is the worse.

Absolutely thrilled I didnt drink tho.

Day 3

#dry july

Rested much better than yesterday. Sleep is broken but being awake doesnt start with that anxiety and guilt.

More energy than yesterday too. Another 11 days and the alcohol is said to be out of my system.

I am excited to know how it feels to be clean. My hope, at any rate, is that i have the mental freedom and choice to make alcohol like anything else in my life...only as important as I want it to be.

Day 2

#dry july

I slept okay last night. I didnt wake up with that anxiety at 2 am. Thankful for that.

Energy level is a bit low but I crushed a small work out with some stretching.

Yesterday was a little uncomfortable but I think that is more due to my hormones leveling out. It was shitty way to spend a day thats fo sho.

Day 1 #dryjuly.

I have been struggling with actually doing this. Probably like most people I get a few days in and then the voice in my head starts...you know the one...’just dont get drunk’ it’ll say. I hate that voice.

But i’ve been really thinking alot about drying out just to re-evaluate my relationship with beer. It consumes too much of my head space. Its always there. Almost like an obsession

Truth is my health is awful. And root cause of that is the beer drinking.

So, heres to day 1. I want to chronicle how I feel this next 31 days. When I emerge at the other end, i want freedom. I want my mind to reconcile the fact that soberiety makes the world more beautiful.
