Day 11 for me.The fog is finally lifting. That fear of losing my comfort drink to relieve my anxiety and stress WAS really just my mind (AV) stressed and anxious about the next drink. I'm soo much calmer now. I used to get so angry at my youngest daughter, she knew how to push the right buttons. I'd be telling her off constantly. Now, without the alcohol, I can listen and reason a lot better. It's like everything is in slow motion and I actually have time to think before I say or do. And of course my actions and reactions reflect on her..and we calmly talk it out. And all this time I used to blame her and use that as an excuse to drink..to calm down..what a joke. Alcohol or more importantly our addiction really sucks us in.

Have a great day everyone.!!

Jberk..enjoying the serenity in slo-mo.
