Thank you for the encouragement. I live alone and don't know anyone in the town I moved to months ago...makes this a bit harder.
The fear, shame, sadness and guilt are common, but I think they can sometimes be a trick our brain plays on us to get us to go back to drinking.
Conquering the addiction with this six day start is positive. It is life affirming, it is a giant step away from the addiction and the darkness. Fear, shame, sadness and guilt aren’t part of your journey now. You’re moving toward the light.
It’s ok to feel it, but don’t let it sink you under. If the feelings start to overwhelm, it’s usually that craving in your brain trying to get you to go back to the drink.
