Something Amazing Happened on the way to get Groceries...
...I stopped into the LCBO (liquor store here in Canada) and returned the remaining two bottles of scotch that were in my cabinet. I gotta tell ya, getting the $80 back and being able to have that pay for a tonne of groceries...wow! What a feeling, when essentially i literally would have flushed it. Felt great!
Day 8, no desire to drink and quite a difference in myself i'm noticing. Night sweats aren't nearly as bad, and actually manageable now. Sleeping is still hard but i find i have more energy running on 3hrs sleep than i did after a drunken 8. You will too, just need to push through the hell of the detox, you'll be glad ya did!
I can't help but think losing my job (as crummy as it was) has been able to give me the time to restore my health and wellbeing. She may have in fact, done me a favour.
Courage and Love to everyone.

That is awesome! Feels good, doesn't it? Well, I have news, that's just the beginning. Barely the tip of the iceberg. Barely.
I love seeing your comment about getting fired too. That's powerful and absolutely true.
I had to be divorced and fired before I woke up. I felt anger at myself for the longest time as a result. Why did I let that happen?
But now I see. It was more than just quitting alcohol that was at play. There was a change in lifestyle that was necessary. I would not have noticed, nor would I have made the necessary shift in my mind unless my world was turned upside down.
Now I'm thankful. Which is simply amazing to me. Not too long ago I was severely depressed about my self destruction.
So much good in you post. It's short, but it says A LOT!
