Hi SR community, Well I've been around this place off and on for the past year or so. Have had a few attempts. I am at 14 days today. Trying to stay focused on health and am abstaining from alcohol this long weekend. A couple of changes that I've noticed are.... I seem to wake up much earlier. About an hour or two earlier than usual. Without alcohol in my system or feeling hung over the next day, I have a lot more time on my hands. Trying not to "over do" things and take on too much work or otherwise, to keep anxiety at bay. Although I have had some really anxious moments and even days.
Trying not to spend all of my spare time when not working with my DH or by myself but I am a little fearful that if I'm around family or friends I will feel out of control and slip or feel tempted.
Just putting it out there. A few changes I've noticed in early recovery.
