3 weeks today

I don't know about this counting days thing. Seems like it's been much longer than 3 weeks, and I wish it had! Doing fine with it, though. Mostly back to normal, but still feel sleepy a lot. It was rare to sleep through the night when I drank, so I'm sure I was pretty worn down. I've read that even if you're drinking and do manage to sleep through the night, alcohol still interferes with your ability to reach the REM stage and you're still not getting enough rest.

Other than that, I've been feeling OK. No unmanageable feelings of anxiety or depression, and any thought of a drink is quickly dismissed by the presence of Antabuse in my system, for one, and the fresh memories of how much damage it has caused to pretty much every aspect of my life.

Hi Getmeout. 3 weeks is awesome, well done! The sleepy phase will pass soon, think of it as your body catching up on all the time its missed out on.
