Hi everyone :-)

Decided I'd try to post on here every day, so here I am...

Day 5 AF under my belt... Have to admit I feel a bit wired in the evenings, having trouble falling asleep and have woken up the last two nights bathed in sweat and had to get myself a towel!

On the bright side, I am happier, not anxious and depressed and starting to feel confident again.. A fair trade off I reckon, seeing as the withdrawal symptoms will only get better and continuing to drink will only make my mental health worse..

How are you all doing?

So all in all, I'm going pretty well :-)

G'day Dave,
Congratulations on 5 days af! That is an awesome achievement. Hopefully you're through the sweats soon. My sleep started to return to normalish after around 8 days ish, i think. Different for everyone, but great going. Have you read the 'toolbox' thread?... if no, there are some useful tips on early af time. Take care, and Bravo on 5 days!....

What do you play?

I have a very nice Maton Cutaway C80 Acoustic that I should start picking up again!

Hi guys - fellow Australasian and newbie (day 4)

Thought you might like this - I hadn't checked this thread out because I assumed it was for people who had got drunk the night before :H (No wise-cracks about the intelligence of Kiwis :nutso I was too scared to look at the thread cos I thought it might trigger a drinking binge for me (the power of suggestion etc...)

Anyway, David just found me on another thread and pointed me this way. 1.00pm over here so better try and get some kip. Great to find this thread

Boo

Dave, congratrulations on Day 5 AF. So good on you. Hey, at least you're not menopausal when these bathed in sweat things happen to us women all the time for some. Thank yourself lucky for being a man.
