4 days!

A few days ago I posted about not making it a day. Well I’m happy to report I’m at 4 now! Tonight I had a small craving and I caught myself rationalizing the drink (oh, well I’m with other people so it’s not as bad as drinking alone) or (these people don’t know I’m actively trying to quit so it won’t even be an issue). I was able to bring myself out of that and play the tape through. They offered and I said no! Woohoo! IWNDT

Keep playing that tape forward! I found that to be very helpful in the early days. You got this! IWNDWYT

Nice job! Rationalizing with oneself is the hardest part in my opinion. Only on special occasions, just this once, I'll only have 2, I won't drink if I have to work tomorrow, etc.

That’s amazing! I’m three days in from not making it more than two solid days straight in the last five years. Keep it up! I forgot how good it feels to not wake up feeling like absolute garbage. I can’t wait for my clothes to start fitting better as well.

Day 4 here too!! And also unable to get past day 1 for months. So I’m fighting all my urges with every piece of me, but I’m happy to be not drinking with you 🫶🏽 let’s do day 5 together
