Today's THE Day
Well, I had been hoping to do a med detox, but it's expensive and I am self-employed and do not have great insurance. So I am going to give this a go myself.
I have been drinking in the mornings to manage anxiety, and imbibing throughout the day. Never sloppy drunk, but the equivalent of two bottles of wine a day for at least the last 6 months. Heavy drinking for a couple of years.
But I will not drink alcohol today. And so my sober life begins with just getting through the day. I last had a drink yesterday evening around 6 pm CST. It was the 8th of the day. So 8 1/2 hours from now it will officially be 24 hours.
I am not experiencing withdrawal right now. Although I do feel nauseous and have dry-wretched a few times. But I get that every morning from anxiety.
Wish me luck!
