Hello Again
Hey all,
here I am again, 7 days down this time round and sitting here with the benefit of experience that NO! I definitely cannot moderate. Managed 8 days in May, went on holiday, thought well I'll just have a couple.....came home and hit it spectacularly. Ended in a particularly bad session last week and I woke knowing what I needed/need to do....
I know my experience of detox was mild from reading your stories but boy I *never* want to go through that again! The first time was awful but this was like the worst stomach bug going combined with the sweats and vivid scary dreams. after day 3 I began to feel better and have been craving really healthy food (until today when the sugar dip hit, but that I can deal with). No insomnia, just very tired but I'm guessing that's my body catching up on its first real sleep in many years?
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and thank you because even when I don't post I'm reading and every time I think about that first drink I log on and breathe....
Here's to 7 more days and I hope you guys are all doing well on your journey,
Love and light
AJ

Yes, it doesn't get any better after a sober stretch. I found in short time I was back at it as usual.
I try and not take that first drink. Without that I won't have the tenth.
I'm glad you learned from your expierence, and remember you never have to feel that way again.

Hi Clary! Welcome back!
Yeah I'm not good at moderation either.. Give me one or two, I'll put 'em together and make a 12-pack!
Slowly figuring it out, though.
Good job on seven days! I think tomorrow is day 21 for me? I want to say three weeks, not sure. Feels like a really long time ago..
