Thank you so much! Currently sitting in bed eating an Easter egg, after a banana, a plum, an apple and an orange! Think it’s safe to say my body is craving sugar! I hope you are well x

I just went for a walk and some food and went to the book shop! Hopefully a new book will help me at night if I can’t sleep! Thank you x

Loveisallweneed

Welcome LIAWN

Are you a fan of The Beatles by any chance?

Loveisallweneed

Haha I do like them! It’s actually a quote on my wall and when trying to set up account it was the first thing I saw! I’m addicted to quotes and love hearts but not so willing to give them up haha! I’ve collected love hearts from everywhere I have been and have them all around the house! My little girl counted them a while back and stopped at 230 ha so I’m guessing there’s a few more than that!

Day 7 and I feel okay! Found it hard to sleep last night! Thinking about rehab! I know it will be okay, but still my head was racing! Would love to cuddle my little boy for a while! I’ll try stay busy today and hopefully will get a good nights sleep tonight! Anyone else find sleeping hard? X

Yea that's pretty natural. Especially with the adventure you're about to take into rehab. Ye ole brain has a lot it's processing.

I had night sweats pretty bad for a week or so. Of late (40+ days) I've been having alcohol related dreams. I think it's just my brain re-wiring itself so it's a good thing.

I'd encourage that you look at rehab and your decision to be sober as a great relief. I mean, sure, we all have some of the wreckage and inconveniences to deal with - I for example am in the midst of some financial woes. But overwhelmingly I feel a great sense of peace and relief that I've left the crazy train for good. I have to believe some of the short term stuff - while a pain in the rump - is just that - temporary and fleeting. Just think what the sober us can do over the long haul...

Looking forward to hearing more about your adventure!!

Thanks b! I still have 2 and a half weeks before I actually go so it’s trying to keep the demons from the door till then!
I know what you’re saying re the future, and try and stay positive and focused till I go! I still have to tell work and have to let my friends know, who i know will all be so supportive! I just kind of feel like I’m letting them down! I know it’s the right decision for the rest of my life so then I just say to myself “stop feeling so sorry for yourself” as I know it’s me who has put myself here!
It’s a horrible vicious circle! X
