    Day 2 and I feel pretty darn good!!!

    Hi everyone,

    Today is day 2 AF!!! I can't remember the last time I even made it 1 day AF. I've had a headache that comes and goes and a little bit of shakiness but nothing too bad. The first night I slept only 3-4 hours but lastnight I got probably 6 hours. I had a little bit upset stomach the first night and diarrhea (yuck) but am feeling good now and have an appetite. I'm drinking lots of water and gatorade. I'm also taking a B-Complex and 1mg of Klonopin in the morning and evening. The Klonopin dose is the same as I've been taking for awhile for anxiety. I think it is helping keep the withdrawal symptoms at bay. Thank goodness!

    I know for today, I will not drink and tomorrow will be day 3! One day at a time as they say. I am ready to get healthy and get my life back. For a couple of years at least, I feel like all my days consisted of was going to work and than home to drink. I know that there is so much more to life than sitting at home alone every evening drinking and having no interest or energy to do anything else.

    Thank you all for all of your current and previous support! Much love to you all! xxx :l

      Thanks pride! Yes, it feels good! I'm still real tired in the morning but I know that once my sleep pattern gets better, waking up will feel great! Nothing like when you're drinking everynight and getting out of bed the next morning is pure hell.

                  Day 2 and I feel pretty darn good!!!

                  Well done Jewels, I found going to bed and getting up became a real pleasure after a while AF....I never used to remember going to bed and would hate to get up so much I'd call in sick for work. I hate those days and I don't want to be there ever again. I've had a few slips, this saturday being one of them but now I've experienced life without the fuzzy head for a while I don't want to let it go!! As Mayday says Good on ya Jewels!! xx

                      Day 2 and I feel pretty darn good!!!

                      The drive home from work this evening was hard. I just kept thinking of stopping to get a bottle....just a pint so I wouldn't get too drunk. I drove past 3 stores I've stopped in for booze in the past. At the forth and final store I almost stopped but didn't....almost time for bed and tomorrow is day 3.

                        Awesome! WELL DONE, Jewels!

                        And doesn't it feel almost like relief when you get home and realize you MADE it? You didn't stop and buy the poison!?

                        Hope you'll have a wonderful sleep and wake up bright and bushy tailed!

                          Woke up sober day 3!!! Sleep lastnight was about the same as the first night. Only got maybe 4 hours. Better than the crappy sleep I get when I go to bed drunk.

                          Today is my psychiatrist appointment. I hope all goes well. :fingers:

                            Hi Jewels,

                            Good for you for hanging tough! Let us know how the visit with the psychiatrist goes. Some professional support will likely feel great.
