    I think I feel normal????

    Ok....its now been 5 days AF. The fog is gone. I think I feel pretty darn good, and possibly normal, but I'm so confused with what normal is...

    Its been a long time since I've gone without a wine buzz, if not more, each evening. So waking up today, I questioned my normalcy. I'm not to sure if I remember what I used to feel like without this vicious habit I've had. Its very bitter sweet. I'm glad about it, yet sad that it's been sooooo long. But it gives me hope for the future, and hope seemed so far away for so long.

    All I have to say is I FEEL GOOD TODAY....and I'm gonna make it a great day!

    Hope everyone has a fantabulous day!

    Normal is a wonderful feeling to me that just grows and grows...Maybe it is not exactly NORMAL(this feeling)...MORE LIKE PEACEFUL AND CONTENT....

      Yes, peaceful and calm, (but calm for me never has come easy LOL!)....thx! I woke up, actually my dogs woke me up, but instead of saying "shoo" or "go away" or the numerous "LET ME SLEEP" stuff, I actually gave them a big smile. and let them in bed....happy to let them out!!!!

      Quite a difference from the grumpy girl I was, everything a nuisance in the morning till a few hours passed.

          It keeps getting better Panacea, I'm on Day 8, I'm not saying it's easy, but I know from experience (7 years AF previously) that every day is a new beginning. Keep you guard up, though, the elation of AF may leave you vulnerable in other areas. Congratulations, and keep smiling!

            Congrats Panacea! 5 days is a great accomplishment. I am just a couple weeks ahead of you and never thought this would be possible before I started on Antabuse. I am considering going out to see a band tonight wtih co-workers and friends - some that drink and some that don't. I've already taken my antabuse for the day, so I know drinking isn't an option for me. It's just the first time I'll be putting myself in this environment. I'm thinking of going with the "I'm on antibiotics." Since it is a late night performance, I may chicken out... Any thoughts?

              Hi Apl and all,

              The antibiotics excuse is probably as good as any. If other people are not problem drinkers, they just don't get it when you choose not to drink. And Nunewf, you are dead on. There have been so many times when I've successfully moderated that I actually convinced myself that I didn't really have a problem. Of course, the roar of the al lion always came back, so I was "back in the cups" in short order. My lesson was that I must be vigilant - always. Have an occasional glass of wine, sipped ever so slowly, and be sure I have plenty of AF days inbetween. No negotiation. Period. Here's to our success!

                It's great that you're feeling good! Please be aware though, that the early days of sobriety VERY commonly have a lot of ups and downs - please don't be rattled if you don't feel so great on any given day. It's perfectly normal.

                Congratulations on 5 days! March on!
