On day 8 now. Whew! Last night was easier but mostly because I was so physically tired. Had moderate cravings during the evening but they subsided after dinner. Fell asleep at 11pm (very early for me). That anxious period and "hollow feeling" in the evenings is really annoying. I cannot wait for it to back off at least to "secondary" levels.
Woke up a little groggy after 8 hours but coffee fixed that. Blood pressure was 121/76. I had to look at the screen twice. lol.
My twin daughters have high school graduation tomorrow so some family is descending today. Which is good because none of the ones staying the night drink. They know I'm off the sauce (I told them because of bp medicine) so they won't bat an eye or ask questions at no beer in my hand at happy hour and no bourbon after dinner. Today "should" be easy but certain family has a way of annoying me at times so my cravings may start early. lol
