I already feel like I have so much energy. It's only day one, but I feel like I'm getting so much accomplished today. Perhaps it's because I took a Bvitamin complex this morning? I've heard that Bvitamins can stave off withdrawal symptoms, so I'm prepared to take them for the next week at least. It's getting close to the time I would normally reach for my first drink of the night, but instead I'm drinking raspberry flavored seltzer water.

almost 7 days clean now! yay :-) oh by the way, IamTj mentioned all those good juice drinks to have in the fridge. I found a good juice drink that really helped me get my metabolism back on the right track. believe it or not, prune juice! it actually doesnt taste that bad and has MANY good vitamins. Any drug addicts newly clean i really would suggest you get sum gold label california prune juice.
keep on keeping on in recovery!

Creekrider - thank you for your concern. I do drink a ton of green tea, which is actually my beverage of choice. The seltzer water is just to help me get my daily allowance of water, as I'm not big into plain water. I will heed your words, though.
Here it is Day 2 and I have so much energy - I was dancing in the shower!!!

misfit,
i am also on day 2. i feel so much better as well. one thing i have since admitting to myself i have a problem is hope. i never had it before. before i couldnt ever imagine not ever having a drink again. it was so ingrained in my life socially and unsocially. now i dont ever want to drink again. i want my health, wife, and kids. I read a quote that Kelsey Grammar said that makes sense for me. "saying to myself I wont drink for 30 years seems hard, but when you wake up every morning and say i wont drink today it becomes very easy." Until i found this website I had never met or heard anyone with stories, histories, or problems like my own. I felt shame, guilt, fear, and loss. Now i just feel like getting better.
Keep strong

Hey there. Good morning to ya? How was your night? Hope you did okay. I myself took my son to the Christina Aguilar Concert as a reward for school work, etc. First time sober at a concert. Not my music forte but damn she can sing.
Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you and sending strong happy thoughts your way.
Another day to smile and be sober!

OMG - I slept SO good last night! Too good, in fact, as I slept right through my alarm! If hubby hadn't woken me up, I'm not sure how long I would have slept! It felt awesome, though!
