Day 15

Yesterday was a decent day. I got done what i wanted to in terms of studying for the Network+. Today will be practice exams and professor messer lessons in between the study sessions.

I slept terrible last night, woke up at 2a with cold sweats and wet sheets. After that it was falling asleep for an hour or two with weird dreams so it wasnt really a good night’s sleep but i still got up at 630a on the nose

I managed to go out yesterday and i wasnt really tempted to stop for a beer or anything. I think it had to do with writing it out that i will stay sober that day helped. And i will stay sober today as well.

Getting down to 4 cigarettes wasnt to bad, its much easier to smoke less when you arent drinking. I want to do 4 cigs a day this week then ill cut down to 3 per day next week.

I need to go through my accounts again and cancel any stupid subscriptions i have today too.

Between staying off the booz, adding in some exercise, and not smoking as much, i need to make sure i dont over commit to too many things at once. Having said that, exercising, smoking less, sleeping better, and eating better just seem to be bi-products of not drinking and i dont really have to think about it all that much. I will probably stick to these changes for the first month.

Having the sweats last night and the amount that i sweat just from walking tells me that i still have alcohol running around in there somewhere. They say it takes 30-90 days to completely detox from the amount/duration/consistency i was drinking and im starting to believe them. Every day i think i feel like a normal person does, then the next day i feel better than the last so i really have no idea any more what its like to be completely sober.

Either way, today will be a good, long, productive day.
