Hi everyone ... I am on day 4 today. I don't know why but this time feels different. It doesn't feel like a big struggle this time. I feel so ready and not tempted. Nothing big happened due to alcohol but I started getting migraines a few weeks ago. I have made appts to see specialists already that will happen in the following months. Drinking never was super bad for me in terms of getting drunk often but I was drinking 3-4 drinks every night ( mainly wine ) and at 40 years old I got so tired of feeling sluggish ... I got tired of wine being my go to in order to decompress.... It weird how it sneaks up on you ... Anyway... I am very thankful for this forum... I had tried a few times before to quit but my friends I had in my orbit used wine a lot to decompress as well... The friends I am with often now ( due to a move) rarely drink....if ever... I have always worked out everyday and ate pretty healthy ( no fast food or soda ) ect... however I crave worse food when I am not drinking.... I know a lot of people wat more calories when they drink ... I do the opposite.... gotta stop those cravings... I am very excited to be sober totally. I am so looking forward to this journey. I also am thinking that maybe .....just maybe my migraines will go away with no more wine.
