Not wanting to bump this too often, just doing a 3 week (!) Update.
Honestly wasn't expecting to make it this far when the morning of the 2nd Jan dawned, but here I am with 21 days of total sobriety under my belt. Been through a lot of emotions during this time, but pleased to note that most of them have been positive emotions.
Health wise, my psoriasis has started to clear, and I no longer suffer from the acid, heartburn and dry-heaving that I was getting every day.
The weight loss has started to kick in, the trydry app says i have saved around 30,000 calories and 580 units. Can't believe I was on 200 units a week, it seems crazy looking back.
Still finding it really tricky getting to sleep, and I am peeing a lot.
Next up on my agenda is a 10-week boxing program, (for beginners) with a charity boxing event at the end. Hopefully that will give me the focus to keep sober, think a strictly regimented programme like that is a positive way to keep those demons at bay.
To anyone who is currently, or may at some point be struggling with addiction, it's never too late, and you have my best wishes.
Cheers, FMTTMers.
