Resting Heart Rate
I received a health notification on my phone saying my resting heart rate decreased over the past 6 days. Small wins!

In seven months, I went from 105-110 to 60-75. I also recommend measuring your blood pressure, you might be surprised.
In my case, it went from very high values to normal levels after about a month of sobriety.
It's incredible how the body can recover even after 20 years of daily poisoning.. 💪

When I first started this journey my normal pressure was 180/100. I was on amlodipine 10. I ditched the meds after my first stint of sobriety.
It is within normal limits now without meds! I was a daily drinker of A LOT of boxed wine. I keep having some slip ups here and there which turn into binges.
Heres to another sober journey for me! Not far in, but feeling great

Great job!
My HR was one of my obsessions during active addiction— I would check it all day long and it would rarely drop below 115. I would constantly feel like my heart was jumping out of my chest.
It’s always 70-90 now.
