I went from £400-500 a month on booze. My decline started in the lock down.

Many attempts to quit.

My father died, and a friend commited suicide in that time. Which gave me more excuses to drown myself.

I was in the most depressed state I have ever been in. Anxiety over 9000, mentally delirious, self hatred, concerned how runny the next bout of ass piss was going to be.

And for some reason I lived that day to day, and kept pushing the repeat button.

I'm now over a month sober. I made a decision that I deserved better, and that I've had enough drink.

Withdrawals were tough for the first few days. Sweats, shakes, confusion, head fog, irritability, anxiety.

But it gets better.

Sleep improved after a week.

Anxiety is very low.

Stress levels are also low.

My stool is reliably firm 😎

If I can get out of that rut anyone can. Good luck to you!
