It doesn't hurt anymore!
Day six of sobriety today, and I think the withdrawal is finally over. I woke up today and for the first time felt truly clear-headed - I didn't need alcohol or Benadryl or anything else to get to sleep last night! The fog is finally lifting, and I realized something - that I haven't gone more than two days without a drink since 2005... it took sobriety to realize how long and how hard I've been drinking! I had been chasing that 'next drink' for so long I had forgotten about how many I've taken. And besides the physical damage to my body and the emotional damage to those close to me, I can't begin to imagine how much money I've thrown at this thing.
I have gone to three meetings now, and although at first I kinda thought 'well I'm not as bad as these guys so maybe I don't need AA' now I'm thinking that I should be thankful to be in a program before it gets that bad.

Good for you! I did the same thing at meetings, and I am sure some looked at me and thought that they weren't as bad as me yet. I have heard it said that medically, an alcoholic is anybody who drinks more than their Doctor. Seriously though good on ya! I hated AA my first meeting but then found a wonderful home group that worked for me. Keep posting as you can really help others with your posts daily. You have me already!
