Just wanted to post for anyone scared of going AF after long-term drinking of a bottle of wine (plus!) per night.
I was reading someone else's post the other day about how it just gets easier the more days you clock up. It's absolutely true. The only time I'm thinking of alcohol is to wonder how I ever let it get such a hold on me.
I went cold turkey, no meds, and am amazed at how great I feel, if somewhat tired at night from all the exercise. But as I've said before, I'm not worrying about going to bed earlier, as I never achieved a single thing at night, when I was hard-out drinking (unless you count truly horrendous hangovers that lasted till 4 pm the next day).
I realised today that it's been a long time since I achieved a goal that was difficult, something that not everyone can do, that I felt really proud of. Perhaps a marathon I ran, years ago. Well this is going to be my next big thing!
If I can do it, anyone can. Good luck, everyone.
