Hi Dream,

When I quit drinking 5 years ago, I felt exactly the way you describe in your post for a few months.

I accepted that I wasn't feeling 'normal', I napped when I was tired even if it meant I didn't sleep well or long enough that night. I also accepted that I...just....wasn't liking things when I didn't and was thankful for the time I did that day, as you mentionedd earlier at the park today. You just have to ride it. Know that you will level out eventually. Maybe you could talk to your Dr. and ask for advice on changing your diet to help you through and get some exercise. Is there a walking group in your area? I sihned up with one back when and still get together with them.

Sorry you're feeling low but always think ahead to better times to come. It's okay to 'want a drink' but my dear, you can't. Just go to bed early or walk around the block when your husband gets back. Tomorrow is a new day.
