T,
You probably know this, but it is my way dealing w the addiction we all have.
I remember always first...I am a drug addict.
There is nothing else when it comes to booze.
It is not for fun, mourning, relaxing etc etc.
I am a drug addict.
Physically clean takes a good 2 weeks to a month. Then the mental hell begins.
I am 23 months clean in a few days. I was a wreck for at least 6 months to a year.
Off and on, thank God. The waves of crave and anxiety etc come and go.
Now mostly I crave at weird times. I eat now when I used to drink.
After work..I used to get hammered. Now I eat a small to medium meal.
I exercise about 5 days a week. I have way more energy and time now that I am clean.
SR is all I use for support. AA wasn't for me.
Thanks.
