365 Days

Today marks one year alcohol free. This time last year I was 55lbs heavier, withdrawing daily, puking bile every morning, riddled with anxiety, and just generally unhealthy. I drank a bottle of 100 proof bourbon, in about 2 hours, every night for about 7 years. Even more so if I were able to get out of the house to meet friends. I wanted to have a drink after the year mark passed, but I can’t. My mind sees drinking as pounding a bottle alone and not “fun drinks with friends.” According to the app I use to track days I “saved” 602,334 calories and about $9600 by not drinking in 2022.
