Day 18 - feeling ok but a bit irritable
Day 18 today and im feeling quite pleased with myself. Im not working at the moment which is lucky as i find myself either not sleeping at all or sleeping for up to 18 hours!!!
Am slightly irritable and AV tends to be a bit strong at times but up to now ive defeated it.
Ive certainly lost some weight and my tummy is nowhere near bloated as when I was drinking.
I used to get a lot of intrusive thoughts when drinking and they seem to have all gone away as well.
Hope you are all doing well - keep strong

Hi Jt 
I think we also forget that prior to drinking, we had irritable days too, you maybe are just noticing them a little more? Unless of course, you're feeling iffy wanting a drink,in which case keep pushing forward, it gets SO much easier

Great going on 18 days. Irritability was certainly a factor for me and it came and went those first few months especially; I remember a week in particular where I was just .... agitated and mad! It does even out IME- and that is a great point above that we had irritable days when drinking (I sure had a TON more of those then) - and, I'd add - non-alcoholics have them too!!
My happy conclusion has been gratitude that my foul moods or moments of snippiness or such are NOT caused by drinking!
Keep going.

Thanks for asking Dee. Last night was a night of no sleep and today i only slept for 3 hours so hopefully will sleep tonight. Still a bit irritable, but not too bad. Tomorrow another day so we will see, think its partly due to only being about 10 days away before completing my task of dry January and then that of course means other decisions have to be made as to continue or not. Of course I know the most beneficial way to go but AV is doing its best to conflict me.
