Fog lifting
Day 2 behind me starting day 3. Not got past day 2 in a long time. Feeling much better today, been eating properly, drinking loads of water and generally kept busy.
It surprised me how often I think about booze, normally on the first prompt I would be off to get some but because I am not reacting to the thoughts they (my AV I guess) keeps on popping up.
They say as you age "dont let an old man/ woman move in" in this case "dont let the drunk move back in!"
For the first time in a long time I am looking forward to today rather than waiting for it to end.
Anyway bring on day 3
Thanks

Congratulations on getting to day 3! The first few days can be pretty brutal and sounds like you're really hanging in there. Doesn't it feel great to wake up in the morning and not dread getting out of bed or counting down the hours till its time to go back to sleep. I lived like that for way too many years.
Try not to get freaked out by all of the thoughts that are popping up about booze, that's totally normal and in my experience they pop up less and less the longer you stay sober. I used to think about getting high 24/7 when I first stopped using, everything seemed to be a trigger. Now i'm at day 44 and those kinds of thoughts are few and far between.
I wish you a happy, sober day 3!

I have never heard that expression before! (but I like it - I think)
