Hi,
Another newbie here. Been heavy drinking for several years, every night. Decided over the weekend to stop all together.
So today I am 2 days AF.
I am noticing I want to go to bed sooner, which is a good thing as I wake in the morning a lot fresher. I would go to bed every night being drunk (well, I got used to it so could handle it, but def way over the limit for driving).
My first real goal for me is to make it through christmas without a drink.
Anyway,
Keep safe all.

Legsand, so sorry you're facing this. Best wishes to you and yours.0
