4 days, only had to dry off twice last night

So I haven't really gone a good stretch without drinking in a long time aside from when I was in the military and sent to some third world shithole.

This past week I've been having to keep a towel in the bed with me as I'd wake up nearly every hour just soaked in sweat and shivering lol. Last night I only woke up twice to dry off...maybe tonight only once?

This is motivation to not start the cycle again...do I really want to start over? No not really.

My next hope is to cut a little weight and begin exercising once I get my sleep back to normal. I'm not big or anything but I could probably stand to lose the 15 pound beginner beer belly I've started to develop from the past 3 years of drinking every night.

Also I feel better. I work in healthcare and have found I don't have to fake my "happy nurse voice" as much so that's good as well.

Sorry for the long post, I want to drink so I'm rattling off the benefits I've found in just a few days to remind myself why I'm doing this.

Thanks
