Well this is my first posting. Im based near liverpool in uk england. Im 32 years old and presently on day 9 of alcohol abstinence.
First two days were reasonably straight forward, the third predictably difficult, four five and six pretty breezy and felt good about myself. slept fine (when i slept) and began unraveling issues in my mind i had not tackled for years.
since day 7 its been harder.
as far as i can remember i have only ever gone longer than a week sober maybe 2 previous times, and one of those was because i was on meds.
oh well i spoke to AA today and will be attending a meeting on wednesday which will be my day 11.
i dont know how long i will last but im in no mood to quit yet. its just that at the moment my recovery seems in a bit of a rut....and my cravings are getting worse.
perhaps today has just been a bad day.
day 10 tomorrow.
