xuse

made it through this weekend like so many have said it feels so good waking up not hungover i have had anxiety at night but overall it beats last weekend i keep having to remind myself one day at a time i keep thinking of so many things that make my anxiety kick in then i read here a while and it kinda relaxes me i guess because i can identify with so many people here it seems my drinking caused alot more things in my life than i first thought that im realizing now

Glad to hear it, xuse.

Sounds like you are off to a promising start. Remember, you don't have to fix everything at once.

WTG Xuse. I think we share the same, or near same, quit date. I'm struggling with some anxiety as well. ODAT is really helping - that and exercise (ok and the cookies I just scarfed down :-). Keep going strong.

xuse I think we all can look back and realize that drinking caused more problems in our lives than we thought. And talk about hangover free? I've been smiling to myself all day watching my sister and cousins throwing up all day being hungover from lasts nights festivities. I on the other hand, am pleasantly enjoying my Sunday.

Congratulations xuse - the first weekend is a big step

Slow and steady is the way to go I think - try not to think too far ahead, or look too far behind for now...it's a big enough job just to stay focused on staying sober a day at a time

My anxiety greatly diminished over a couple of weeks time....also I established new routines, habits and evening hobbies which take the focus off of both my obsessing and anxiety.

getting regular, real sleep made a world of difference to me and the way my brain processed everything.
