Detox thus far

My last drink was a cheap-ass 24oz can (ok 2 cans) of 12% malt-fruity-crap on Sunday night.

Monday was fine up until the drive home. That's when i wanted to steer in to the poison store and buy a few cans of hooch. One for the parking lot, one for the driveway and a few in the trunk to sneak out and get whenever I felt the desire. I decided to stop in and buy a big bottle of flavored sparkling water and drank it all night.

I worked out 2 hours Tuesday morning and felt great all day. Tuesday afternoon I started getting agitated easily and very short tempered. I prayed alot and just powered through it. I drank water all day and decided to keep hitting the sparkling water as it felt like I was drinking one of those Harder lemonades or Four Loko drinks. That night I sweat like a hooker in church and tossed and turned all night.

Wednesday morning I hit the gym again and felt much better that afternoon. No real cravings or anything. I still drank the sparkling water and kept busy. Cold sweats all night and at 11:00pm I craved a drink sooooo bad. I just prayed, thanked the Lord for protecting me through my prior stupidity and went to sleep after taking a Benedryl.


Thursday: Perfect day. I had energy, great attitude and did not feel the need to crash in the afternoon. I slept like a log and under the covers all night.

Today I feel great and can't wait to thit the beach this weekend.

Good for you. Sounds like you made it past the physical part...the night sweats and tossing turning. Have fun at the beach.
