ok - I'm on day 5 and things seem to be going well. Small headache but most other symptoms appear to be diminished. Had a struggle with my brain last night about picking up something to drink on my way home but stayed strong (not easy, but I did it).

now, no drinks today and I'm well on my way to finishing up week one (first time in about 15 years). Thanks to all that have commented on my posts.

Congrats on day 5, so besides not drinking what are you doing to stay sober?

so far not doing anything too specific. I'm staying really busy and drinking a ton of mineral water. I've found for me, I'm addicting to drinking as much as I'm addicted to alcohol.

Outside of that I'm focusing on my kids and how much better I'm feeling in the morning.

so far so good.

Congrats! My new addiction is herbal tea. It helps so much to have something in my hand at night, that oral fixation.
