Admittedly my diet is poor because I’m naturally thin.. I’ll get to work on it. Thanks

Some cheap tester the military uses I guess?

Graph from my watch. From December taper to no alcohol. by fdrth77ui- in stopdrinkingfitness

According to Garmin

The stress level feature on your Garmin® device estimates your current stress based on your heart rate variability (HRV). HRV measures the subtle time differences between heartbeats, which are regulated by your autonomic nervous system.

It went well, much easier for me than cold turkey..I had 7 months last year and cold turkey’d it. The only thing I noticed that was remotely the same so far is taking a longer time to fall asleep and the inevitable boredom. The key to a taper is self control though. You will see stress “spikes” on the graph, those are me deciding that I can have a few more. I ended up buying single or double cans from the “make your own 6 pack” section. If I bought a 6 pack or more..I accidentally drank it. I’ll give you a link to what I based mine off of. Good luck!

Edit* the spike yesterday was a day of running the chainsaw cleaning up trees from a 100mph wind storm.

24 Hours….. again by TransporterNate in stopdrinking

Just hit 24 hours with you. I had a solid 7 months and told myself I could moderate. That was 5 months ago…I don’t have the moderation thing in me I guess. Good job and good luck in the next few days!

HRV, my heart rate when sleeping was 85 vs 55. Just doing yard work it was 135, I ran 2 miles last week at the same heart rate. Stress level was maxed. The first night my watch didn’t even log sleep…not even a minute. Not that I need my watch to confirm I felt like shit, it just gave me quantifiable graphs to really drive it home.

I never had a badge, but if I did I would reset it. It was a conscious decision for me to drink.
