I am on Day 6 without ANY alcohol. Again.
I made it to day 7 last time without drinking and then I caved.
I declined all plans this weekend and stayed at home.
It was weird, because I had random "sprees" where I had motivation, and then the motivation was lost and I had to nap. I would clean the kitchen, do the laundry, but then I would fall over from being so tired.
Did anyone find that in the beginning you slept a lot, and sometimes had that
"what the hell do i do with myself" feeling? Sometimes even watching television isn't enough to satisfy the boredom. (EXCEPT WHEN LOST IS ON! Love that show!)
Also something kind of weird, I haven't been drinking, but I wake up still feeling hungover. What is THAT about? Is this normal? I mean it has been almost a week since I have had anything to drink. Maybe it's just waking up tired, not really hungover.
Things that are still problematic:
-long lasting motivation
-severe boredom
-sleep disturbances - hard to get deep sleep, takes 2 hours to fall asleep (i've read Carol's web site about tips...none of them work for me)
I'm not really experiencing much depression because, well, I'm on a cocktail of anti-depressants and I have been for about a year. I take the generic forms of Celexa and Wellbutrin, and for anxiety I take Klonopin.
