Day 4

Staring my 4th day. Yesterday depression was rough. Stated out bad in morning went to gym at lunch things were better through the afternoon, then got bad in the evening. I'm not letting this discourage me, I'm going to keep moving forward. I know a drink will in no way improve what I'm going through only make it worse.
On a positive note I did get more sleep last night.

Hey there!

Keep at it, it gets so much better. Those early days can be rough, but keep the memory of this feeling fresh bc I am sure you WILL NEVER want to relive it again. I will not forget how I felt my first five days. You are hitting a milestone already tomorrow, 5 days! You're doing great, keep it up, and see how life begins to blossom!

I learned here that my brain was forever altered by decades of boozing.

I will crave off and on for life.

The other issues caused by boozing are either going away or I am getting used to them. Either way things are better.

Addiction is learned behavior, it can be unlearned.

Thanks.

For me, days 1-4 were like sitting at the edge of the pool, miserably sick with virtually no interest in the water, entertaining a wish that I would eventually want to swim.

Day 5 sober is like getting in the pool and discovering the water is pleasantly tepid. A bit of easy breast stroking is plenty to deliver a bit of promise that I'll be able to enjoy doing laps one day. On my best days, I towel off after getting out of my virtual pool without a thought about all of the tomorrows to come, just satisfied that I made it through the day.

Come on in, the water is fine.
