Good Morning!! Wow it feels good waking up and wanting coffee instead of a drink! I actually stayed in bed for over 8 hours and slept most of it. Wacky dreams though. I guess while drinking we don't really dream; probably a lot of catching up to do.
I'm on Day 8. I think I'm doing better than I ever have before at quitting. Yesterday there were a few times that "the voice" was telling me this is all a mistake and it would be nice to have a "few". I told "it" that I am in charge now and to go away (actually I used a little stronger, unladylike vocabulary). This morning I feel so good that I got past that. I'm sure it will happen many more times and I hope I can keep my resolve. Everyone here helps me with that.
Another thing that I am doing that I believe helps me is listening to relaxation/self-hypnosis cd's. I have some to aid with sleep (they don't put me to sleep but they do relax me) and I have recently purchased a couple meant to help with addictions. I'm not going to get up on any soap-box and say they are the answer but I do think they are aiding me in this and I am sure they cannot hurt.
Does anyone else worry about how you are going to handle situations with family and friends where you would usually drink? I don't want to "come out" about this, at least not yet. For now, my husband and I have agreed that we will just avoid any social situations for awhile - not hard, we are pretty reclusive anyway. By the way, hubby is "normal" and has no problem with alcohol but he is supporting me however he can.
Well, let's all do one more day and try to have a good one.
