Quitting Alcohol II Sept 19 2018 Day 5

Well, this time my 30 day minimum abstinence from alcohol began upon my return from a Mexican vacation. We went to Cancun on Sept 10 for my birthday and stayed until Sept 14. Five days of drink at least a bottle of tequila a day in addition to whatever I ordered from the bars. Strangely, I never got buzzed. Maybe it was because it was so hot and I was sweating it all out. Dunno. Anyway we both decided when we got back we would go on a hiatus for at least 30 days. Got my lab results back and my glucose was at 101.  Not terrible, but over the threshold of 100 nonetheless. Today is day day 5 of no alcohol. Hasn't been bad this time. I thought  I would have a hard time sleeping, but hasn't been an issue.  Have been having some vivid dreams though.
Reasons:  Not getting enjoyment out of drinking
                 Consuming WAY too many calories  Need to lose weight
                 Compromising health.  Blood sugar and liver enzymes
                 Need to learn how to be happy without being drunk
                 Self esteem is flagging
                 Need to prove to myself that I can do it
