Hi everyone.....

It's nice to be back !! I am day 3 AF. I am focussed, renewed, optimistic and feeling good.

I know I can do it this time. I am tired of the lies, I am tired of spending $300.00 a month on alcohol and I am tired of the morning headache and toxicity.

I will be here everyday reading, posting and celebrating being AF.

Since you know you can do it, you can .

Glad you came back!

Hi Jim and welcome back. The first few days and weeks are the hardest but god once over that hurdle life is so much better AF. Someone said to me yesterday that i looked really well and younger. I asked if they were kidding and they said "no you look great". I thought wow AL really does knock you around internally and externally.

Keep posting and reading and not drinking. Life is way better.

Welcome Back WBG! Many folks have trouble sleeping at first, but it will come, in time, and it will be the best sleep you have ever had! Just hang in there- You are doing GREAT!!

Soon you'll be sleeping like a baby :-). It's worth the wait and beats the 3-5am insomnia!

Sleep is on the way. We are so used to "passing out" we forget how to sleep normally. Its coming though. I took a nap today for the first time in forever. I was sleepy so I laid down and shut the TV off. Set a bedtime ritual. Like take a warm bath, drink some tea, etc...read, NO TV. Quiet, relaxing time and sleep will come.

Well day 6 AF is coming to an end.... I will be celebrating day 7 tomorrow with a cold club soda !!

Overall it has been a good 6 days...... thanks for all your support. My wife is happy as the house has never been cleaner and I actually have been in the mood for "fun" at bedtime, instead of stumbling up the stairs to bed.

I have signed up to learn how to play the guitar, I have lots of energy and I am starting to sleep better.

I am taking care of myself for the first time in a long time and am looking forward to next week and weeks to come being AF.

Just thought I would share....... thanks everyone !!
