Five Days Without A Beer

One day at a time is working to stop drinking.  The urge is there every minute of every day that I am awake.  It only takes one small weakness, but so far I haven't given in to the temptation.  Every day I come so close to giving in, and buying a six pack.  I have to convince myself to walk past the beer, and buy an energy drink instead.

Even though it has only been five days without a beer it feels like a huge accomplishment.  It is the longest I have gone without beer in a very long time. 

I can't say I have noticed anything different in how I feel.  I just notice I have been sleeping more than I have slept in years.  I have been sleeping 10+ hours a night.  Is it boredom, or is it part of my body catching up on years of abuse?

I know quitting drinking is the best decision I have made in my life, but I know every day is going to be a struggle to not buy beer.  Hopefully it will get easier as time goes on.
