Day 5 - Feeling ok
I'm on Day 5, plus this will be my first weekend sober for years! But, I'm doing ok right now....much better than the last 4 days. I got more sleep last night, finally, and haven't had any emotional outbursts. Still could cry at the drop of a hat, but that's better than the mood swings.
Thank you everybody for all your support and comments. This place has really helped me see that I'm not alone - I'm not the only one who is going through life like me.
I found this quote and I really thought it made sense. I know there's alot of people out there that don't like Dr. Phil, but I think he hit it right on the nose with this quote:
"If some behavior you're doing is interfering with your regular functioning, interfering with your job, your relationships, your piece of mind, your health, then that's not normal." - Dr. Phil
I'm glad I finally realized this about my drinking. I'm glad I realized that the way I was drinking, whether it be alone, at work, in the morning, and even just daily...was not "normal". I really hope I can make up for the last 6 years I've spent in a fog.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm actually drinking a cappucino on a Friday night! Unbelievable! Yeah and congrats to all of you, too! You all have been so right about feeling better if I just let my body detox and not fall back to the drink. I love this website - it's been a big part of my strength to stay sober.

Lilhaze,
Nice to hear you are feeling more balanced. It does take time. I too am on day 5 and have relied heavily on the friendship and understanding of the SR community to give me insight and support.
Thanks for sharing and keep up the hard work. Please keep us updated.
