Today, my heart rate is elevated and I don't like it. Never again.
Today is my first official day sober with the intent of never going back. Ever onward.
To the other patriots who have also quit, hats off to ya. I'm right behind ya.

JUST KEEP QUITTING!!!!
It can be a real struggle, I recently feel off the wagon and am considering getting right back on. You already know how dreadful the day after can be so you will always have that in your corner.
You are going to want to eat and you will need to, depending on consumption level. I was pretty bad when I was bad, I feel like I am dying after 5 beers now though. Very thankful for that, it gets lighter!! Get some real food in there. Carbs will be pined for so consider learning how to bake, you will have an excess of energy after a few months, maybe sooner if you don't hoover your nearest fast food establishments.
Find something constructive to pour all that money into. If I had a job I would be borderline rich right now. Talking folding bills, ya heard? TRACK THE MONEY SAVED! Figure a months average on alcohol and food after alcohol, then x that by 12 and hate yourself for as long as you need to but then remember you are worth it and get back to it.
You already did the hard part, just keep doing it! You got this!
Heck yeah, bro! I was on the wagon too. Just gotta stand up, dust yourself off, and get right back on it.
I gotta level, I lean on the weed still. I don't want to stop, I like it. I feel it helps me keep focus like coffee without the jitters. Probably not awesome.
You're talking to a smoker as well. I also leaned on in, it kept me away from drinking but still... why do I need to be altered to enjoy the world God created?
I figure I must be hiding. I'm quitting the buds too, actually today was my last day for that.
Next, after I am done kicking these, I am quitting smoking cigs. Going clean.
It helps me appreciate what I already have. enough is enough, ya know. I can really get into my knitting and just let go of the chaos for a while. In all fairness it is all God but it is also like the word of God because it couldn't exist if God hadn't spoken it. I dunno if it is good or bad, like really know. I have brought myself to a level of tolerance though so that could really be all that it is... I do get antsy pants without it.. I smoke ciggs like a freight train anymore. I had quit that for a few years too. I am trusting the science! Use my failures as a learning opportunity!
If you have trouble quitting cigs consider buying a good vape mod that you can fill with your own juice. Then you can determine the nicotine amount and gradually reduce it. That helps a LOT of people, and in Europe (UK for sure) their national health service can actually prescribe it as a smoking cessation aid. You have a lot going on and knocking out 2 addictions cold turkey at the same time might not be the best idea.
I'm gonna try to give my life up to Jesus and our Father. Exist as they'd like me to, as much as I am able.
It's a journey. Walk with him. That might mean a physical walk but Holy Spirit... This gets me sometimes. Anyway, he will always be right there on the path where you left him. Though he is always with you. It is up to us to return to him. I cannot say that I am certain that I am capable of upholding his laws on my own anyway and the world is rough. I wonder if that is why Jesus told us to love. It would get more people on the path. In a way we had to be expected to fuck up otherwise Jesus wouldn't have been planned.
There is a lot of hoopla about giving yourself to Jesus, technically, you are already his. Accept it. Confess with your tongue that Jesus died for your sins and was resurrected by God.
10 Romans For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Welcome to life brother. It is so much better with a good friend! It will be difficult as a mother trucker, but you got this!
