Bought myself a gaming PC as a “happy 100 days without booze” gift, coming in soon. What’s crazy is it cost me about 6 weeks of typical drinking costs. Fuck did drinking add up.
Noice!! Might as well enjoy the extra money and buy something you want.
I cringe when I think of all the money I've spent on booze, since I was like, 17.
I've been three months last weekend no booze.
The sugar cravings are subsiding, and I have lost some weight, 5lbs. My wife says I look slimmer, so that gave my ego a boost!
It is lame to say this, but I am proud of myself as well.
Last night wife, me, and my daughter went to the local microbrewery for supper. They have a bbq pulled pork pineapple pizza that is super good that my wife likes a lot. We don't eat out much anymore because restaurant eating is so fucking expensive now, but she had a absolutely terrible week at work that emotionally destroyed here but eventually turned out ok, so it was kind of like a bitter sweet celebration the week.
I was so, so tempted to order a beer. (One won't hurt, right?!)
My head was literally vibrating inside with the thought of having a beer. It was consuming me all supper.
But... I didn't. I fought the temptation, and mainly though was how shitty and bloated it would end up feeling washing down the pizza with some beer, and also not being able to stop at one.
It's a small victory, but a victory none the less. I'll take it.
