This time, despite the fact that I had been drinking far less for several months prior to quitting and had been dry for several months prior to that...I was a mess. Day 4 I barely moved off the couch. I walked around in a fog for weeks, never felt rested, and had zero energy. Oh and that happy pink cloud place failed to show up this time. All this on 3-4 glasses of wine every evening.

The good news is that I'm pretty much terrified of what it might be like the next time...today is day 97 and I'm not looking back.
