Hi and congratulations with your 8 days.
Many of us thought that putting the drink down would end our misery/pain. Well many perhaps did damage to our mental and emotional wellbeing and it takes time to clear up and heal.
This is a good time to make a plan to work on for long lasting sanity without alcohol/drugs.
My recovery included first to be honest with myself about my drinking and accept the fact that I can’t drink alcohol one day at a time in a row in safety.
I and most needed meetings with people who understood and encouraged us how it works.
BE WELL
