2 weeks
Hi, just dropping by. Well I have 14 days behind me, Ive been spending time at SMART RecoveryŽ which has really helped. I am just getting on with my life, trying to get back to "normal". Kept on making changes and started back with all sorts of stuff I have let slide for years, because I was either too drunk or could not be bothered.
For the first time in a really long while I feel relaxed and positive. Ok, so I still get the odd panic about stuff and suddenly an irrational urge to drink flits by, so I know that little alcoholic voice is still sitting on my shoulder, but it gets smaller each day. Ive slept pretty well the last 3 nights and what a joy to wake up refreshed and not hungover, or worse, still drunk.
Oh I am still trying to do the yoga, still rubbish, they only let me come so that everybody else looks good.

Hey Pete
I remember you from a long time back. Well done on the two weeks buddy.
Oh yes - I remember those days. Thank you for reminding of them. It is a true miracle that I wake up in the morning now and not 'come round' as I used to. To be honest - at the end of my drinking I would 'wake up' (especially at the weekends) and not even know if it was morning or evening.
Another wonderful thing is that I no longer have that crushing anxiety that I would wake to every time. That terrible, terrible feeling of despair and pain. That has now gone. Totally gone. One day at a time I hope it will be gone for ever.

HI JaySee, Good to hear from you, yes it is good to just feel normal and get on with stuff without that great weight to drag around each day making even the easy tasks difficult. This time for me it has been about embracing change, no white knuckles, I am starting to really live again.
Take care all
