Day 2
Hi all, so basically after doing a 'sober November' last year I naively thought I could then moderate after that... I did (with some difficulty) for a few months but have been getting drunk pretty much every evening since June. As it's now spilled over to work problems (not for the first time) I've decided to really try quitting for good. I know I'm an alcoholic now. I've seen it creep up to scary levels these past few months.
Basically this evening has been incredibly difficult (anxiety, racing thoughts, restlessness, flirting with the idea of drinking now or in the future). I know it's all the disease and very early on but how long does it typically take to begin to feel calmer??? (Btw it's near bedtime here now and I think I'm gonna make it through sober today.)
Cheers for reading
