Nearly at 1 week.

So, here again.
It hasn't been as hard as it has been in the past, but this journey must continue. I do believe that previous attempts have given me more knowledge and acceptance on what the early stages of this path entail. The physical withdrawal seems to minimal now, except some periods of itchy skin today which may or may not be related. Now for the battle of my mind. The reminding myself where the drink gets me, how I treat those I love, the constant fatigue, how it traps me and endless cycle of depression anxiety and drink.
I want more from this life than the one with alcohol that I know too well. Surely I can get more out of it. More joy, more treasured memories some self pride and maybe even remember what 'content' feels like.
If I don't try with my all I think I will only miss out on the things I think I want the most.
Some dinner, a hot shower and an early night to start my second week on positive note

Nice one finalcall and always good to get the physical withdrawal out of the way. Thanks for the reminder of the horrible cycle if we go back to that much trodden path.

A week is a great start. Yes, there is a much more fulfilling life to be lived without the booze.
