  • Sober now for 12 days. I’m not finding it difficult so far, I’ve been in some situations where friends would be drinking but I felt no pressure, not even really the urge.

    It’s not that I’m addicted to the stuff, I just really like the taste. It’s not even about the feeling of being tipsy or drunk. Even though I loosen up a bit more if I’ve had a few, problem is that once I start it quickly becomes about how much of the stuff I can get in me before I have to go to bed.

    I want to keep going for at least 4 more weeks. After that, I’ll probably return to drinking, but far less often and far less at a time. So a couple of glasses on a weekend is fine, but no more than that. And if I do go overboard once, I’ll just not drink for a couple of weeks to get the liver back to a healthy condition.


  • I used to really not get Dry January and I really underestimated the time it takes for a liver to really recover.

    As I’ve had a bit of a scare from the doctors telling me my liver is overly fatty for someone my age, I’m committed to really get by without the stuff for a while. So far so good. I’ve done a couple weeks before just to see if I could, but lately, especially in December, I felt like I really couldn’t do without.

    Right now, I feel like I can go without for a long time, if I have to. I’d really rather not, but health comes first.



  • Well, it happened. I’ve been struggling with my energy for a while now and now I’ve been given the wake-up call. I think I already knew but my liver is not up to the task of filtering my lifestyle.

    New Year, new me I guess, if I want to live in any way better I have to make some real changes.

    I’m okay not drinking for a couple of weeks, like an emergency detox if I feared addiction. But I honestly can’t recall the last time I went a month without alcohol.

    Currently my liver is in a stage of being overly fatty. This is reverseable as far as I know. So I really now have to commit to drastically decrease my alcohol intake and change the way I eat.
