For what it's worth it works well for me. And it's been really interesting trying out different stuff!

I know what you're feeling. Pretty soon after I stopped I was going away with some friends and I was so worried that it wouldn't be fun as I wouldn't be drinking. Not only were my friends amazing and totally supported me, it was a great week!
Maybe it would be useful to reframe it? Instead of thinking into the future and talking of "never drinking again" just consider the next day, or next weekend, or next night out? And then think of the next day and what you'll actually be missing out on - the nausea, the headache, the wasted day... Easier said than done I know, but I hope it helps.
Keep going, you're doing so well.

That's a hard truth, and one even harder to break free from. Keep going, keep doing what you're doing, and IWNDWYT.
Always my toughest day... the day I would be out drinking after work, crashing straight through "merry" to "stupid drunk", and getting angry with friends who didn't want to drink with me. So use this thread for whatever you need it for today - checking in, sharing jokes, seeking support, asking questions. Whatever you do, IWNDWYT Peace and love

I think I'm just glad it's here. And in a way, sharing jokes and recipes is a valid method of support too! I guess we see how much traction we get here and whether people have stronger feelings than me :)

Feeling so much better, thanks! It hasn't been a big bang of "oh wow, I feel great now!" but an accumulation of smaller things - being more present at the weekend, especially in the mornings - taking better care of myself (small things like brushing my teeth before bed rather than thinking "feck it, I can't be bothered") - losing some of the beer belly... and so on. But mostly just being far more steady and sharper mentally.

Since 2nd April this year. Never every day, but never had that switch to say "time to stop now" once I'd started. Decided to prioritise my mental wellbeing and jump on the wagon. Not looking back.
