right there with you Change...I can hardly get my fingers to type...arg! I'm only about 20hrs in AF since bad binge. sleep usually takes four days to return to normal for me. one hour at a time. I've tried valerian etc but the first couple days just really hurts no matter what for me. drink water, take vita mins and eat when you feel up to it.

My advice to anyone going Alcohol Free out there, read a book about someone who has already given up the drink! They are very inspiring, I have quite a few now. The best for me is "Goodbye Mr Wonderful" by Chris McCully - he lost EVERYTHING and came back to a better life.

Day 14 AF and have a lot of work to do around the House. Usually with a beer but I should be more productive without the beer. I used to drink beer to give me the energy to start a project. Let's see how it goes.

great point Francis, when I was only 2-3 days AF I couldn't hardly stop crying outbursts for any reason out of the blue and hated being anywhere public...now only being only on day 6 I feel super and rather confident. yesterday I was at a crowded store where I'd normally feel anxiety but I felt fine..it was so nice and reasuring. hang in there Changemylife

Axiety

A lot of my anxiety has gone away. I am starting to want to be around people more. I feels good. About to go to dinner with my wife and a friend where i would normally have a couple of glasses of wine. Now i should be less anxious and have a better time.

Today Sucks

Holidays, work, people pissing me off. I have been doing great except for a day here and there where I am just angry and want to have a drink. Must be from stress.

I am going home tonight to try and clean the garage. Maybe that will help releive some tension.

Please try to be strong, you are a lot stronger then what I am at the moment. Plaese let us know
