I'm on day 6 and the shakes have finally stopped. I had only a slip for a few days and had no valium to come off the alcohol so it was fairly tough. I had a reality check on day 4 and started thinking that I really needed to grow up and face reality as it is and try to change what I can. And to cut out all self-pity is another big one.
So the last 2 days have been a major house clean. My kitchen floor is so clean I could eat off it lol. I even managed to start clearing up the backyard. Today is going well with cooking pumpkin soup and a pasta dish. Its so great to read everyones' posts. I'm feeling different about sobriety this time and never want to go back to that nightmare of feeling forced to drink to cure a bad hangover. Hope everyone has a great day/night.
