10 days and counting
Hello everyone.
Today I am 10 days sober (I have probably been 10 days sober about 7 times over the past year but never remained longer than 21). I can get to 10 days sober fairly easy - although 24 hours after my last drink this time
I could feel/hear my elevated heart beat and struggled to sleep - I had never before experienced symptoms like this, but this was after a period of drinking for about 48 hours.
It's always at around about this time in sobriety that I start to think - was the drinking that bad? The memory of the hangovers/stupid behaviours have lessoned and that glass of Chardonnay just seems much more attractive then it did a week ago. I am also a little worried as I am leaving my family tomorrow after a trip away, so going back to my empty flat can often be a trigger for me after leaving a busy bustling house.
I am hoping I can find the strength to get through this time, my first day back at work too and find myself back here at the weekend having still not drank.
Hope everyone is doing well and happy new year!
