Day 15!

About 15 days ago, I was getting off a 10 day bender, which consisted of drinking soju around the clock…

15 days ago, mild withdrawal symptoms woke me up. Dehydration and restlessness greeted me as slowly tried to recover. I’m too familiar with these symptoms and knew what was coming if I kept abusing the alcohol. I couldn’t taper if my life depended on it. Didn’t need to go the ER, so I had no choice but, cold turkey and homemade remedies. For anyone who’s ever experienced WDs, you’re in a personal hell. You want to sleep but, you can’t. You want to eat, but you’re nauseated so you can’t. It’s just torture…

Fast forward to 15 days of being sober.. I’m feeling way, way better than I did that day. 13 days back to working out. Drinking tons of water, since Summer is almost here. Eating cleaner and not ordering junk food off UberEats. Things have improved since the last time I was drinking.

For anyone who’s struggling, yeah it’s hard but, not impossible. It’s definitely worth it, I’ll tell you that much. You just gotta fight it, then when it starts fighting back via cravings and temptation, just keep on going.

Chin up fam, you’re not alone and you got this!
