I am experiencing a lot of what everyone here is talking about...insomnia, hunger, etc.
Yesterday I fought a nasty craving at my witching hour--5 pm. I didn't think I was gonna make it but I did, somehow. It's strange how that voice is so convincing and you don't think you can ever get past it. But then after battling for however long suddenly it's gone and you don't want to take that drink anymore. I finally slept last night and woke up feeling really great today that I did not give in!
I also woke up STARVING!! It dawned on me that my body isn't getting the 900+ calories of wine at night so of course it needs FOOD! I am hoping to drop some extra pounds put on by drinking but if this hunger doesn't stop I don't know if I will.
Anyhow, Day 5 for me!
This will be my first weekend sober in a VERY LONG TIME. Anyone have suggestions how to get through it? Let's be real...at 5 pm on a Friday...HOW DO YOU KILL THAT VOICE IN YOUR HEAD?
