Congrat on 6.22 days. Hey that is huge....I hope you are starting to feel some relief from detox hell and some reprieve from that alcohol induced anxiety. The only way is forward. And, as you know, it gets incrementally better. And then the work begins.....
Your thread struck me. I appreciate you sharing because it helps me so much to remember.....it will never, ever work. Alcohol that is. And it's stunning isn't it that there are times, even after a lot of non drinking time, that I need to be reminded of that. I mean seriously. I don't need to be reminded that stubbing my toe hurts like hell. That's a really crappy analogy but seriously. I 'remember' that pain viscerally. But detox? Ok yeah, I remember that too. But its different. I dunno what I'm trying to say. I'm not an AA but cunning, baffling and powerful truly are the best 3 words to describe alcoholism. Hands down.
