Congratulations Citrus and freedomfries on your alcohol free days. (It motivates me a lot to hear of your success!)

I made it to day 3; have some withdrawal symptoms (rash on my liver and legs; minor itching). I've had worse (which is both bad and good). Really severe withdrawal symptoms remind me of the severity of what my drinking was doing to my mind, body, soul.

One symptom that I do have is lethargy; since alcohol and food went together for me, I'm learning how to eat for the first time ever time I stop drinking (even though I'm almost fifty). I guess my body is still detoxing. But not having energy or motivation to do basic things is what finally got me to stop this time around. But I have to remember that detox and sobriety are processes and there is not going to be immediate magic.
