Last night was the first night in years that I did not have any alcohol. I thought I would be pacing the floors, chewing on my toenails, hiding under the bed, etc. but I was extremely calm... almost eerie calm. I sat with a glass of milk watching The Roosevelts on PBS and went to bed early.
Any thoughts from people who have gone thru this? Is this normal or ???

Hi SadieJack, I don't know if there is a normal for people like me who drank a lot.
Your response is your response to not drinking day one. I don't know how much you were drinking, so watch out for withdrawal symptoms. It can be very dangerous.
Consult a with a doctor if you have any symptoms at all.
Congrats on day 1. Yes?

I am happy for you that it went so well.
I found the first month to be fairly difficult - like I was recovering from the years of poisoning. Be prepared for the maybe-not-so-calm waters ahead. I thought I'd be fine too.
Not so much.

If you drink every day, quitting is a very major change. It can actually take up to 24 hours for your body to even start comrehending that you've quit. For me withdrawals always got much worse around day 3 or 4, but everyone is different. Congrats on the decision, you won't regret it - and be safe, see a doc if things get too bad.
