I've been drinking around 3 bottles of wine every day for about eight weeks. I drink to numb the pain of losing contact with good friends, to numb the anxiety of day-to-day living, and to give me confidence to forget all the rejections I've had through adolescence and in my early twenties from women.

Does it get better?

Certainly life is better sober. Alcohol is a depressant and makes your mind magnify problems.

You feel sad...alcohol makes it become misery.
You feel rejected wine makes you feel all alone forever.

Congratulations on seeking sobriety.
Tomorrow will be better than today
as long as you do not drink.

Day 4

Thanks for the comments so far, I don't know anyone in real life who is struggling with this. Sorry to be so crude, but is it normal to still feel a little bit dazed/out of it, and have diarrhoea after four days?
