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.

Update: almost two successful (hungry, so hungry) days down, and, because I had to dial it back from 5 to 3 days because of a couple of events on Thursday/Friday for which I could not be a ravenous monster, one day to go.
My wife said she'd try the 5-day fast with me in January, so if I can do 3 days this week, this'll be a decent proof-of-concept, and a down-payment on making good on my full pledge in the near future.
So, no youthfully glowing skin, or supernatural sense of smell, or improved eyesight so far... maybe I get those tomorrow, or maybe those need the 5 days. Or maybe I got sold a bill of goods. Dunno.🤷♂️ Regardless, at this point, it's surprisingly, so far, so good, and please accept my continued prayers for you.
Prayers out for you as well! Way to keep at it.
I've been eating one meal a day and fasting the rest. I am also in the process of detoxing my body which has disrupted my sleep cycle, so that part is rough.
But that's what I get, so I accept it fully.
