Day 3
Entering my third day. Feeling pretty good other than a little tired from lack of sleep. Overall doing okay trying to make healthier life choices (diet, gym, etc.). Having some mild depression but not too bad at this point. I do remember getting sober before and depression and insomnia were brutal but I'm hopeful that will not be the case this time.

congratulations! It gets better. Trust me I went through it a million times, sadly.
And the longer you don't drink, the better it gets.
Those first while can be pretty bad, but remember, you never have to go though it again.
Best to you both.

One of the reasons I don't drink anymore is because I never want to experience that depression, anxiety and lack of sleep that a severe drinking session gave me ever again. As Ghostlight said, it gets better! I've had my ups and downs over the past 14 months, but nothing even close to the misery I felt in those first couple of quit days.

You never have to return to that miserable place.

NEVER HAVE TO GO THRU THAT AGAIN....TRUTH.
I think we take these words too lightly....
When I finally get free of the insomnia...and the sweats, and anxiety and shakes, and headaches and muscle aches and constipation and lack of appetite..and everyone has forgiven me....If I chose to drink after that...it is horrible (and it has happened) that I don't ever realize....I don't ever have to feel that way again....I just have to stay away from that first drink no MATTER WHAT and I won't feel that way ever again.
