Thanks Emme99 and congrats on day 2!!
Starting day 6 here. I feel the same way about the evenings as you Emme. Days are great, but oh the evenings... They are the hardest. I've tried everything from crossword puzzles to gardening, Netflix and Nutella, listening to music, taking a walk. I'm still restless, very anxious and keep looking at my watch, counting the hours until I can go to sleep. The thing I'm scared of is that when I was sober before (8 years), I never was able to quite shake this evening anxiety/restlessness. I don't know if it's somehow programmed into me because of growing up in a dysfunctional home where evenings meant being in constant fight- or flight mode... I'm very determined to do everything I can this time to stay sober but the evening anxiety worries me. What if it never goes away? I have young kids so I can't leave the house every night, otherwise I'd go to meetings during the evenings.
Wishing everyone a great April Wednesday!
