Day 6 for me
Hey again. I have written twice, once to give good news about quitting back in November ( I had been reading this website for weeks before I quit) Now, I am back to get some feedback about making this work -this time. For me, I would drink during extreme moods, when I felt great I would drink with friends at dinner or hanging out. When I felt depressed (which has been my dominant mood since Jan) I drank nearly every night.Only one person in my life knows about my drinking. Everyone of my friends seems to think I am a normal drinker, they have _NO_ idea just how much it takes to get me buzzed. I guess I should add that I am a female and all of my close friends are women who get drunk very quickly. It is weird how I tolerate it now.
So today wasn't too bad for me except when I think about what tomorrow will be like. I hope I wake up ok again.
Thanks for reading!

I woke up okay again today, and even though it is only 9:20am (I start work at 6) I think the day might be good. I had nausea really bad the first 4 days. I would be sure I was going to get sick and never would. Also, I "missed" my drinking ritual- even though I was nauseous, I missed my wine. Thanks again!
Thanks again!

There has been research to show that females tend to get drunker, (or their BAC tends to be higher), during tests where a man and a woman of the exact height, weight, age, and general tolerance to alcohol. One of the reasons is because women tend to have less water in their bodies then men do. I would have to check some notes I have on the subject to give you exact stats.
Take it day by day. Go to your doctor, be honest with him or her, and check out a recovery program.

Thanks again!When I last quit, the ritual part just took some time. As I was feeling physically better and doing new things, the "ritual" part was kind of replaced with the new things. When I started drinking again, all the new things became replaced again by the rituals of my drinking.
So I'm glad that you are ok and congrats on your sober time. Keep us updated because I need more than ever to hear how other people are doing while I start this all over again myself.
