re: Anybody else notice this when they quit drinking?

i love craft beer

I have got to where I can't wind down to sleep without having a few whiskeys or vodkas I keep trying to say I'm not doing it tonight but work stresses me the shite out sometimes. I get intense very vivid dreams, more than I used to when I was younger. I just dont want to bring on any health risks on myself. I'm as healthy as an ox basically but still.

Seizures themselves aren't that big of a deal but it was scary as shite for me.

You get used to them. Nice little break in the day.

I was normally drinking 4 to 6 craft beers or a few neat whiskeys a night. It's probably been about 4 or 5 years since I have gone more than 1 night (and those were rare) without drinking.

Holy crap. How do you sustain this? Good luck with everything. You’ll feel a lot better in the coming months if you stick to it.

Better and deeper sleep

Alcohol numbs emotions so people tend to have stronger emotion, more clarity and deeper sleep

Update: I have still been going strong. I feel like my daily drinking habit is broken. I made it through sober October and only slipped up once. I am still going 5 or 6 days a week without drinking and then maybe 2 or 3 beers while watching football. I went from drinking ~40 drinks a week to ~5.

I sleep a lot better, also dont go towards dark thoughts in the evening anymore. Knowing how much better I feel in the mornings now has made it easy to keep it up.

Edit: I did go on about a week binge in September when coyotes carried one of my dogs off.

How much weight you drop?

I was thinking about this thread last week. Curious to see how others are doing. I work a lot more now do not doing as much recovery activities but still trucking along well one day at a time
