I'm on day 16 of my 30 day No Alcohol Trip.
I've gone about my normal life so far, including going to bars and hanging out with my friends on official Drinking Nights, I just haven't consumed any ralcohol myself (or any other mind altering drugs, haven't felt the urge).
Physical crap:
My appetite oddly enough has decreased. Instead of eating a ridiculous amount of food like normal, I'm eating two normal sized meals a day and a snack. I think I've lost 5 pounds, but that's probably due to the food intake. I don't have any more or less energy than before, my sleeping habits are unchanged, and I still don't exercise enough (read: hardly at all). Oh, my acid reflux shit that I've dealt with for the past 6 years has decreased noticeably, that's cool.
Mental crap:
I feel a bit more relaxed about life, but that's been an ongoing process over the past several years so could be unrelated. Otherwise I think and feel the same about pretty much everything, although I seem to have a more positive outlook toward life (but it was pretty positive anyhow).
Social crap:
I thought I would get utterly sick of my friends all being drunk and me being sober while hanging out with them, but that isn't the case at all. Even going to bars with them is fine, although sorta boring not drinking and all, since that's like, the point and stuff.
I'm smoking a little more and caffeinated beverages have gone from 3 times a month to daily. Looking forward to drinking an IPA in a few weeks.
