Day 6 for me today. I am responding to the question about my beliefs about alcohol. I grew up in a family whose parents drank daily so I thought that was the norm. Throughout my adult life I did the same but always drank more than one everyday. As I grew older though, I found that the alcohol no longer serves me and am questioning those previous beliefs. My goal is to do this 31 days sober and then drink only occasionally. I already feel better and sleep better after only 6 days
