Day 9. I know it's early days yet, but I'm feeling really low today. Tearful & tired. I had planned to finish work and exercise but ended up coming home and sleeping on the sofa for 2 hours. I wish I could have that pink cloud people talk about. I feel like my cloud is well and truly grey and miserable right now. I'm eating healthily, I went for a run yesterday and have been trying to keep busy, but today I just feel tired and sad. Just going to bed to write in my journal and hope I wake up feeling better tomorrow.

I'm sorry, lexy. I felt that way a lot the last time I tried to quit. Keep going, it goes away. Hugs.

I am sorry that you are struggling, lexylou.

My 'pink cloud' didn't arrive for quite some time but the good news is that I don't think it have ever left me.

I adore sobriety!!!

Please hang in; things will get easier and better - I promise.

I was (am) really tired still and slept an enormous amount. Just let your body rest and recover

Lexy- I'm still taking naps in the afternoon. Let your body heal, be patient (I know it's hard), keep posting here and continue to get exercise. Think of how you felt after your run yesterday!

Hang in there...it definitely gets better!

This is the best news I've read all day SL! Everyone keeps saying how the pink cloud eventually goes away. Good to know that there are some who never lose it! My hope is that I won't either.

Lexy, just give it some time. Your body is figuring out how to deal with all the emotions you've been numbing away, and it's hard. Rest, if you feel like resting, and just continue eating well and taking care of yourself. Day 9 is great!

Thank you for the replies. I don't intend on drinking, I have had some really strong cravings but have made my mind up that I will not drink so I'm not entertaining the idea.
I will stay close to you guys- thank you all for the support xxx

Good job Lexy
