So I told my mom last night that I was going to go without alcohol. She asked me what made me decide that and I said ‘I can’t get drunk on one glass of wine so what’s the point. Also empty calories.’ But I know it’s more than that, really.

I mean when I was younger I hated the way alcohol made me feel. Then with mental health alcohol made me feel something other than my feelings.

But now I feel I don’t really need to distract from my feelings. I think my medication is doing good and my mood has been feeling better lately. I got the gym to help me feel better.

Like I worry about things. Like my liver and I think my doctor is worried too (hence the appointment with the hepatology clinic).

I guess I have a ways to go but I feel optimistic.

Plus I like a challenge. Put a counter on something and I want to keep my streak going. I’ll be at two days tomorrow evening.
