Jack,
5 days is great. Congrats!
No withdrawals, no anxiety?
The crave and anxiety still come for me. But, I have my calm times. I am also very aware of the stress feelings, how I want to drink over them.
These feelings happen every day and peak around noon to 6 pm. That is when I used to get hammered.
So for me i know...around noon.....that is when the next hell begins. Beware.
Quitting is easy at first, but each time.....it is more and more daunting.
The danger in feeling so great early on is thinking....quitting is easy...I may as well start again.
That leads to kindling, paws, and ptsd.
We crossed the line, we can't ever go back.
Read and heed.
Great sleep and that feeling of knowing i am a proudly sober person is the best.
Dealing w the world confident, knowing I am alcohol free is empowering.
Thanks.
