As of today, I have completed 30 days of being alcohol free. I feel good and I'm happy I did it. While I do not plan to say that I will never drink again, I can honestly say that drinking does not sound appealing. Honestly, drinking was taking up a lot of time in my life and I would much rather dedicate my time to other things.
Not drinking for this last month has come along with so many positive changes for me: I don't have nearly as many headaches, I'm more productive, my mood has stabilized to the point that I am able to live without a mood stabilizer, I am fitting into clothes that have been packed away for over a year, my thoughts are more clear, I have discovered a love for gardening, and I have been able to take a clear look at my anxiety.
I simply cannot imagine going back to the way things were.
