Taking care of the body will help the mind settle down.
I think after a week I was able to get a decent one night's sleep.
Happy Birthday
great day to begin your journey.
Trust me: a day will come when you wake up thinking recovery thoughts instead of when will be your first drink.
Waking up anxiety free, trembling free, nausea free, guilt free....so much more rewarding than what you describe now.
That voice wants you to fail even though nobody else does...like you said.
