Hang in there Angd, my thoughts are with you!
I've been waking up feeling like lead lately, all sleepy and sluggish but still rising a good 3 hours earlier than I was when I was drinking. I've been upping my physical exertions lately so that may have something to do with it. I've also been frying my adrenals with way too much caffeine
I went mountain biking with a friend yesterday and we ended up spending the whole day together; swimming, eating iced cream, driving around, having dinner at a restaurant that is BYOB only. I barely thought of alcohol at all the whole day, except in the abstract of "hey, I'm sober." It really does help to stick to friends who know my situation and are 100% supportive. Life is good.
