I can't believe I'm on Day 8 with no booze. Even went out to dinner last night and had herbal tea while others drank. I felt fine about it and no issues at all. I can tell you that I battled in my head whether to drink or not drink...but chose not to.

I feel different about not drinking this time. I'm more solid in not drinking that i ever have been before. I honestly just don't feel like it any more. I was so sick my last binge that i just got sick of everything about booze.

Now it seems that my mind still wants to drink but my body doesn't. Does that make sense? It is more now in my mind but i think in time of not giving it alcohol, it will lessen and go away mroe and more. i hope.

You guys ever do this...............I often wake up and the first thing that runs across my mind is a slight panic feeling and wonder """ Did i drink last night?"""" I honestly think that first off in the morning when i open my eyes. Probably because i've been hungover half of my life and i'm scared to be again. I just can't handle how i get intoxicated. I just never know what im gonna do drinking so be gone with it forever !!!! lol

What you said there is so true,my last binge only finished 2 days ago and I felt as if my body was caving in.

Congrats on your 8 days, today is my 2nd of a renewed push.

Yes, it makes complete sense...that's the sad thing about alcoholism Way to go on day 8! Stay strong....you can do this! Over time your body and mind will not be struggling.....while you will feel great it will get easier and easier to say NO WAY to a drink!
