oh my gosh my first month was whacky. Emotional roller coaster days and exhaustion. I remember sleeping a lot, eating a lot. I didn't get a sponsor until 2 months in, but at that point I felt ready and not before. I relied on my husband (non-drinker), other alkies I met, and meetings. I tried to be kind to myself and not be so restrictive with my diet and going to bed early. Keep it up!!
