Day 5 :)

Today is day 5 for me!!! Hit 80 hours this morning. I had a little insomnia last night... and some slight anxiety (just a racing heart)... but overall I feel pretty darn good. No seizures, tinglies, creepy crawlys, delusions, nightmares, hallucinations.... the things that scare me into KEEPING drinking once I get started

I don't crave any booze. The thought makes me want to throw-up, lol... I am gonna clean the house a bit today, do MORE laundry, take the kids into town to see Daddy at work... make some white bean soup for dinner.... just try and get back to a "normal" pace. I always feel better on some sort of schedule with to-do lists and stuff.

And of course, check in here throughout the day. Just doing that keeps me moving forward1

Congrats on 5 days! Eating well balanced meals, drinking healthy fluids, and taking vitamins also helped me in the beginning. Keep moving forward. We do recover.

I'm with Flutter, 4 fulls days is 96 hours, so hopefully you are over that? And congrats on choosing sobriety.

Nothing to get hung up on, was just confused... sorry bout that.

Regardless, that's a good chunk of time!!! Yay
