Welcome to SR Leonidas,

Although the "Secular Connections" section is not quite as busy, ....there are some great threads of different methods.

Secular Connections - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

I like your proactive approach ;.... already making changes in your diet and exercize.

"only 7 weeks "

Congrats on that kind of perspective;.....speaks volumes !!

See a doctor, be honest about drinking (the amount and duration) and your desire to quit. Get through the rough hurdle of detox under supervision.

This right here. Reading over the detoxing stories it seems most everyone is either extremely happy they got help from a doctor or really wish they had.

It was probably harder to wake up because it was the first night of deep sleep you've had in a while! Lol hopefully you sleep well tonight and feel rested tomorrow!

Could be. I remember last time I was on the wagon I had to peel myself out of bed everyday as well. Think it`s just one of my withdrawal symptoms. Unfortuanately think I`m just gonna have to deal with it for the next few months. I know some people have it worse when they first quit so I`m trying to look at the brightside.

To be completely honest, I don't know. I have a buddy who attends NA meetings sometimes, think I'm going to head there with him this next week. I have sometime off of work Apr 1st so even re-hab has been a thought.

Any suggestions Dee?

Check out the secular connections forum. I went to one AA meeting and it wasn't for me, but luckily I came across AVRT on the secular connections forum and because of it I am determined to never drink again.
