Hi everyone. I just registered and thought I'd jump right in. Fourth day for me, after years of a bottle of wine most nights. After accidentally finding this site, four days in and wondering if I will ever sleep normally again or not have to fight back the anxious feelings (that I'm just beginning to realize are what always got me right back in the cycle again, when I'd tried to quit before), I felt I'd been given some kind of miracle.
I don't know names yet to attach to all the brilliant insights on this site, but thank you so much for the insights so far. I didn't know about the witchin' hour, or the 5-9 temptation time, all of which I have experienced but for some bizarre reason thought I was the only one on the planet with these challenges. It was so amazing to find out that I'm not the only one driving home from work saying over and over, "You don't need to stop at the store. Yes you do, no you don't yes you do no you don't ... "
I'm finding I have all this time on my hands that used to be taken up with drinking. That's the hardest thing, and I'm trying to work on what to do with that. Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thank you for everything I've learned from everyone so far. I had to have medical tests recently for something entirely different,and learned that my liver and kidney function is normal and good. So, grateful for that blessing, I am trying to move forward, ODAT as you all like to say, and keep on keepin'' on. Thank you again for being here.
