Well here I am on Day 4. I watched my husband consume 2 strong lagers and a bottle of red last night while I sewed a cushion for my sister's birthday and do you know what? I felt SMUG. I loved feeling smug.
He thinks he aint broke so he aint going to fix it. he always tells me he didn't drink so much before he met me. Nice eh?
Anyway everyone. Keep on keeping on. :-)

Day four here too! Took me ages to get to sleep last night, following two nights with very patchy sleep, but when I did, zonk! A night full of dreams but I slept from about 2.00PM to 9.15 this morning! Feeling pretty refreshed!
Beginning to feel I've come through the worst of the initial withdrawal anyway, though it is early days obviously!

Day two here....and it pretty much sucks. Jittery, headache, stomach ache, fatigue, skin is crawling...and the knowledge that tomorrow will likely be worse. Ugh!

I think I'm on day 5 here. I'm so glad I had to work through the first four days. Feeling pretty good. Except my neck really hurts. Probably because I really need a new pillow that actually supports my neck. 
Must get up and try to get going now... I depend so much on coffee now

On day 9 today. Feeling SO much better. The first few days were hell, but I feel very hopeful now. One day at a time, but the way I feel now, I never want to pick up a drink again. Exercise is key for me. Good job everyone!

Suddenly regained my appetite today too and wildly overate at lunch tome - a huge plate of pasta and sauce made with strips of bacon and tomato. Stuffed to the gills now!
Maybe a bit of cake later...!

Here's what I'm feeling now. Like I said earlier, I am not and never was a daily drinker so in the normal course of affairs I wouldn't be drinking this afternoon of tonight after work. I'd probably wait until tomorrow. But I'm feeling off today??!! Maybe because I already have decided that I'm not drinking anymore and know I won't drink tomorrow??!!

Went to an AA meeting tonight. A relatively small group of 12 people. No talk of god (which suits me), lots about support, keeping things simple and positive vibes as well as some intense 'shares'. Was really helpful. I am amazed how the mood and tone of meetings can be so different from one to another. The end of day four here and feeling very positive!
