Day 5.. almost 6.
Hey all.
Just going to let you guys know how my 5th day being sober went. I'm 29 years old , been drinking since I was around 21 ish... a lot heavier after loosing my Mother to Cancer. Drink of choice: Beer and Wine. Id easily down a 12 pack daily.. wine really messed me up. Last weekend I woke up with blood all over my pillow and didn't even remember how I busted my chin over. I'm lucky it wasn't worse, I could have really hurt myself and not even have known how it happened. I just saw blood in the hallway .. looked like a murder scene. It was scary and hit me with a reality check. I found this website and it has helped TONS !!!!
The first few days of my sobriety I was going through hella withdrawals like,, sweating , a=mad anxiety, hard to breath , barely could sleep. I'm now on day 6 and and I woke up feeling SO much better. No shakiness , I could think a lot clearer and stay focused. I was a lot less tired too. I went to the store and walked right by the beer isle and felt so proud. Seeing other people with beer in their hands I was like, That WAS me. I don't want to erase these hard ass days I've worked for to stay sober. I know its early but I am being strong and diverting my hobbies to other things(walking, reading, writing, cooking.. )
Just wanted to let all you guys who think its impossible to quit. Its not its mind over matter. Stay strong yall and thanks to all the supporters here on SB !
Cheers - Dru
