Physically I am feeling very well I feel my energy is returning. Been the gym a few times doing 5k on the treadmill, that really helps when I am getting anxious about things.

I have stopped before weeks and months so know this is not the real test yet. That will be month 2 or 3 or 4 when I think I am ok, what is harm of a couple of drinks.

Drinking really saps the life energy out of me, even when I moderate it. You put off what is important and bury your bad feelings. We need bad feelings as that is what kicks us into action to face responsibilities and fix things that need fixed. Fixing things gives satisfaction.

Just 10 days ago I was a physical and emotional wreck.

All the best and particularly those like me just starting out AF.

Keep going! Building those healthy habits and learning how to navigate life sober takes time. Remembering I cannot drink again, ever, is certainly critical.
