Day 4-mixed feelings
 
Hello Everyone,

Day 4 today, mixed feelings. Vivid anxiety dreams last night, still sweaty (but not as bad), stomachy problems still going on, still in a crappy mood when I wake up, BUT in spite of those things I guess I can focus on the positives, I slept through the night without having any medicines, I actually want to do things today, I keep lurking here and posting a bit, and I DO NOT WANT TO DRINK.

The feelings of shame & guilt plus this detox process are fresh and present in my mind as what I TRULY DO NOT want.

I guess I feel not happy, but not bad either.............I'm just really thankful these boards are here!

:newbe:

Congrats on your 4th day. In spite of the way you feel everything sounds perfectly normal to me as far as the detox and your feelings go. Stick with it, it only gets better. And remember, nobody's ever died from NOT taking another drink;-)

Yep that is a day for. It has to feel pretty good to wake up w/ out a hang over though. I always started feel worse around 5. My normal drinking time. Congrats on day 4.

Congrats on your 4 days, that's exciting! Keep it up!

Wow, thanks guys!! Parentrecovers, you're right. And actually I am thankful right now. I'm way way more okay with this here than what was going on before. I don't know if that would have been true 2 days ago.........so it IS getting better.

And lostmdboy, you're right too, crappy mood and all this a.m., I am really glad I'm not hungover today, REALLY glad.

Took the dog for a walk (he still loves me just the same :P), saw 2 butterflies! See these sweet posts on my thread too.

THANK YOU :)
