((Newbie)) I have been completely sober for 13 days today (yay!) and it's like a weight has been lifted off me - I realised that the alcohol was making me really miserable and now I am just pragmatic. One more week and then I should be completely clear physically, just need to get my head around the coping mechanisms for the future after that. Just a question - has anyone had severe withdrawal symptoms this late after the last drink? Today it seemed to crash into me like that tsunami and I am wondering if it is this cold that I have contracted or if its withdrawals. All the same I am delighted to have found this group and hope to stay here for a long time if it's ok with y'all.
