Day 6 and brand newbie

Hi. I've been a lurker for a couple of days. I'm on day 6 (almost a week!) and I'm now feeling the mental fog lifting. I walked through a store this afternoon and actually loved not feeling dizzy and dull. I scared myself silly last weekend and made the decision to stop drinking. Looking forward to making some new friends.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I'm in this alone because I've managed to keep my issues away from my family; or maybe they just haven't said anything. So your support means the world.

Congrats! I'm on day 6 too, and I had the same experience this afternoon! I did NOT feel dizzy and in a fog running my errands, and it was a real joy knowing it wasn't a fleeting experience til my next hangover.

Day 5 for me and the first day that the fog is starting to lift. It's a huge relief and amazing to be sober

Congrats on 6 days and welcome!
