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.

Very interesting point. I never had a drinking problem but smoked cigarettes for many years. When I did quit - 13 years ago next month - I was amazed it was a lot easier than I ever thought. That was because I was told for years that it was impossibly hard. It really wasn't. I don't know if there's something like this for alcohol, but one thing that helped was a chart that listed the benefits as time passed without smoking: https://whyquit.com/whyquit/A_Benefits_Time_Table.html
I helped a number of friends to quit smoking tobacco--a hint--buy the small bottle of canker medication from drug store-has small amount of lidocaine--when withdrawing from nicotine and just seems unbearable just about to fold place a drop of the lidocaine on gum -will numb for a few seconds--this has been the small assist that has helped my friends in quitting
Interesting
