How many days are you free from booze?

Ruairi C

I’m just past the 90-day mark now. At the start it felt like a real struggle, especially around weekends and social events, but over time it’s gotten a lot easier. The biggest changes I’ve noticed are better sleep, clearer skin, and just generally having more energy day to day. I won’t lie, there are still moments when I miss having a drink, but overall the benefits have outweighed the cravings. I’m aiming to keep it going long-term and see where it takes me

Hi. Keep a to-do list. Keep adding as things as others get done. Keeping busy is very important.

Hi Ruairi. Have things planned for the weekends - be it things like jobs around the house/garden or leisure stuff. Keep it going! 👏🏻

Very similar to yourself @Ruairi C, this day 3 months ago I had my last drink. Decided to knock it on a head for a number of different reasons.

Have tried before but usually lasted a month before jumping back on, this time round there's a lot more conviction to knocking it on the head for good. There has been days I could murder a pint, but the conviction stays.

The weekends can be a tough one alright, but I put that down to me drinking for 33 years, and the pub being a go to location at the weekend, takes a while to break long ingrained habits.

I do think there are a lot of benefits to knocking it on the head for good, just wish I had of came to that conclusion earlier 😊
