the first week or two when I quit, I got MORE accomplished than I did 3 months previously....I cleaned my house, I did laundry, I decided it was nice to have real groceries that I shopped for (healthy food) and a clean bathroom with fresh folded towels. I now eat breakfast every AM, take vitamins and feel/look 10X better...my hair stopped this massive shedding (I am a female) and is growing back...my hairdresser told me poor nutrition/booze was most likely the cause of it jumping off my head.
i started cooking and organizing my mess of a house and my life....I put my clothes away instead of living out of the dryer.
my home became a pleasant sanctuary...(it was February and bad weather outside). Now that the weather is nice, I am outside doing things you can't do when you are drinking.
Mr.S, you can do this! I amazed myself....in 2009 I was only w/o alcohol 9 days and it was not by choice.
