Early Wed morning here, I want to commit to not drinking again today. I've been back on it since Sat, after my best run ever of 17 consecutive AF days. Really noticing how I feel low- level crappy and tired all morning, even if I don't "have a hang- over". Just getting through normal stuff is more of a struggle, which is part of why I feel like I've earned my drinks as soon as I get in the door in the afternoon. I know it won't be easy at that point in time today to stick to this, but I've got my AF alternatives in the fridge, and I'm writing here to set that intention...

IWNDWYT. Day 12 for me, feeling good.

Going back into my full-time work routine tomorrow, after a break. Looking forward to establishing new habits for when I get home at the end of the day, rather than using alcohol to try to relax.

I've been looking at these posts for months, wishing I could honestly say it. Now I can finally say: I will not drink with you today!

[I'm on day 5, a personal record for me in recent years (decades?), and the first time I've had any AF days in about a year. So glad something has finally clicked for me :-) ]
