Good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT, 😁!
We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we’re here together!
Welcome to the 24 hour pledge! I’m pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same. Maybe you’re new to c/stop drinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe you’re like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe you’ve been sober for a long time and want to inspire others.
It doesn’t matter if you’re still hung over from a three day bender or been sober for years, if you just woke up or have already completed a sober day. For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!
Alcohol upsets everything. Hormones, digestion, sleep, you name it, alcohol screws it up. These early days, frankly, suck. Your body is still operating in the old, toxic past where it has to deal with poison on the regular, and everything’s out of whack.
The good news is that this too shall pass. According to my sobriety app, you’re past the withdrawal systems, and in the next week or so, you should start seeing improvements in things like your immune system, digestion and energy. Sleep should also start improving round about now. I wrote a post on stuff you can do to help your sleep improve.
And good idea on the mani/pedi appointment, treats and rewards are important.
Thank you for that link, it was a good sleep routine post.
