A little bored, as I always am at first. I drink mostly alone, and in my warped thinking it makes mundane tasks and evenings more interesting. In reality, I get nothing done, get lazy, get loopy, and feel like crap the next day.
This feels so much better already
I could have written this myself, FBL. One of my favorite parts about not drinking is how good I sleep. And, you are so right about the the first few days being the hardest. My AV keeps trying to tell me I can just start over tomorrow since I only have 2 days. Towards the end I was hiding my drinking and doing it alone so I can relate to that one too. Ugh, I hate the first few days
But, I did this to myself. I will remember this feeling next time I think about having a drink. At least we came back, though, right?
