Mizz, that’s a great timeline.
I had a deep feeling of despair in the first couple of weeks. I thought that daily feeling of anxiety which was wine o’clock for me would come every evening for life. Then I read somewhere that quitting alcohol was harder than cocaine (caveat: this was just a comment on a website). My prospects of quitting back then weren’t good, but slowly the feelings subside.
The only differences between that and numerous previous occasions were I knew I had to quit and not moderate (impossible for anyone dependent on alcohol) and not little “rewards”.
I also know I’d be back to a bottle of wine a night within a fortnight if I drank again. Dead certainty, pun intended.
Glad you’re doing well, Mizz 🙂
