Day 5

Hi. Still not drinking. Not going to drink. Looking after the 2 children and my mum is here for 4 days which should help but doesn't. Getting headaches not sure if form no alcohol or stress. Just the weekend to go though and then my wife is away taking the baby with her and the boy is going to his dad's. Will be quiet, not sure if that is going to be good or bad for me. Anyway I'm determined to do my 28 days and see where that puts me. Hopefully in a place where I can see a life without alcohol which seems difficult now. Thx for your support.

Congratulations on 5 days Steve

Headaches are not uncommon in early recovery, make sure you drink enough water. Obviously if they persist then see your doctor but they will probably pass, early recovery is pretty stressful to begin with.

Quiet can be good, no stress or it can be bad, no one but yourself to disappoint. Try and have plenty of things to do and if you feel like drinking check in to SR before you do

Good luck

Sounding strong, Steve. Maybe you could plan to catch a movie with a friend next week(?) Take advantage of the free time and the fact that you're sober :-)

I had headaches. I felt hungover every morning.

Best advice I got.from.here.....

It gets better everyday.

Alcohol is poison.

Hang in there. We are on the same day! Day 7 today. Headaches here as well. I'm finding that keeping busier is easier than alone time. Just keep swimming.... Finding nemo is in my ear today 😉
