Hi Flowing

I dunno about you, but I drank for decades - I knew at the outset it was going to take a little longer than a month for me to get used to feeling again and living sober.

Your inner addict will wind you up with panic and despair and suggest this is the best it gets but if that were true there's be no one here with more than a few weeks

It didn't actually take that much longer for me for things to settle - by 3 months I was feeling pretty good and getting used to emotions and sober life - but I'm glad I perservered after my first month which was not great...but support helps - post here before you drink!

It is worth it - and we can and do get through even the bad days sober - but you'll never get to experience that unless you commit to it?
