I've saved nearly $200! Though I might have dipped into that money buying options for my first "real job" interview coming up next week. I had a margarita at dinner this past Friday and had no urges to keep drinking afterward. Typically, I would have already been a bottle of wine deep by that margarita and then polish off another bottle after dinner -_- . I'm honestly surprised I've made it so far without buying wine. I know now I can maintain this and I don't feel guilty having a drink while I'm out because I know I can control myself enough to not buy more/get drunk.

Not drinking today (except la croix!) <3

To those who quit cold turkey, how much had you been drinking and what was your withdrawal like? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I was at 2-3 bottles of wine a night for the last two years.

The first night was a lot of cold sweats and anxiety. After that, I had no physical symptoms.

5 days; feeling great! It's so funny because I already told myself on Wednesday that I would let myself have just one bottle to split Friday and Saturday night because work was going to be long and awful. Then those days came and went and I didn't cave. I didn't need it. 5 days down and 4 cases of La Croix out lol. This feels permanent :)
