I have vivid nightmares as well.... 
Just noticed that you are a New Zealander.
Gosh, what an international thread this is!
Aussies galore and now a Kiwi.....fantastic..
I am an Aussie who moved to the US to marry an SR.
Which I never thought in a million years would happen for me....I spent over 20 years in my little flat in Melbourne in abject misery....every year was worse....I could not stop drinking. Until I found SR.
Miracles happen here, and they will for all of you....we just need to do this one day at a time. And build our recovery tools. And then the self-belief grows, and well, life is your oyster....there are no limits to what any of us can do.
Congrats dear Daria, that is awesome sauce girl!!!!
Sending so much love TheLight17: we are all here for you.

Day 3. I had a rough week, didn't get drunk but had wine almost every evening. I have been trying to read the big book for a month or so and I just cant get through it. So I ordered Rational Recovery and started it last night and am LOVING it! Crazy how different ideas fit different people better.
Another note, Ive been feeling 'off' for some time so I made an appointment with my womans doc. I got results back and he said my thyroid is WAY off kilter so Im doing more labs and meeting with my GP. Its amazing that all my little symptoms, all my little feelings of being off, are NOT in my head. I cant wait to start to feel a little better. Funny that we can feel wrong or bad for so long and it just becomes normal. I bet that's how it feels once sober. To feel GOOD again.

Day 3 hopeful
To wake up with no hangover is a feeling that I want to claim back as my reality. I love how the start of the day always offers such hope and all the choices are mine to make.

Hey April peoples! - Not posted on this April thread yet.. I done a lot of posting on other threads - but thought I should post -
my last drink was between 02:00 and 03:00 on 6th April - cant remember time much. Had a few tough days at beginning detoxing, very confused for a few days really.
I done what people here suggested and I got through.
Also learned so much in that first week. Didn't even know what an alocholic was at first - I had a kind of muddled idea. I came here thinking I was going mad because of my behaviour when drunk, and learned that it is part of alcoholism.
It is so nice to be sleeping and eating again. Not been like this for years!

Hi ConfusedGuy.
Not sure if you remember me from the 24-hr connections thread....but I am sure happy to see you again. And so thrilled to hear how you are doing.
Ah ha....feeling like I was going mad was it for me for a long time before I came here. Thank God for the amazing people who put this forum together. And for everyone who posts here.
Now I am just nuts in a good way.
And happy....happy like I never ever believed I could be.

Hi Venuscat - first few days very confused for me, it seems a bit mixed up - I must go check my posting - I was on here most of the first two days I had no drink so its all a bit vague Im afraid !!!
But thanks for being here. And as you say it is many thanks for the people who do this thread. Thought I was going mad in the beginning!! - feeling much more positive and checking in every day now.
Cheers
