I forgot to celebrate day 600 yesterday so it's 601 today. :)

Edit : what it’s done:

My tachycardia instantly stopped. My liver is healthy and functioning again. Sleep has greatly improved. 15 pounds lost without trying. Everyone says I look more alive. No more waking up in the morning grabbing my phone to see who and what I texted the night before. I can get my nails done every other week with the money I saved (and more, had to have been $250 a month at least) I am on fire at my job. That’s off the top of my head. 😁

Amazing, good for you! Care to share how it's helped, feeling better/healthier/happier?

That's so great, especially those first two. Im just over 4 months and this really helps so thanks so much for sharing!!

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Four months is an accomplishment!!! For me, Starting around 7-8 months is when it became “normal” not to think about it (besides the Checkin!)

The morning after detective work on the phone was some of the worst.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Life is better this way ain't it?

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It is! I am now raising my niece and I could never have done it drinking.

Congratulations! That’s super awesome!
