Day 5
Day 5
Plowing through. So relate to others who are at about where I am in this process, who mention high/low/erratic energy levels food/sugar cravings etc. I feel tired yet wired. I have been staying hydrated, taking vitamins, eating relatively healthfully. Have so much to do but am having focus issues. Probably had too much coffee again. Anyway, know I'm rambling; so thanks to everyone who posts here your empathy, insights and similar/different experiences help me to keep it real.

I read that alot of alcoholics are hypoglycemic. So you crave sugar but then you crash after the sugar wears off. I have been trying to stay on low carb, protein etc. it has helped some. Read Seven weeks to sobriety. It's about nutritional info to help curb cravings, etc. my emotions have been all over the place too. Worse if I smoke more. Need to quit but that's another battle for later. Congrats on day 5

I am on day 6 and feel the best so far yet, I can only hope it keeps getting better from here and I am sure it will for you too. After being hungover most of the time over the last 11 years I can deal with the erratic emotions and wired for a bit then in the dumps the next. Its all part of getting the booze out of our systems. Heck, today I even went furniture shopping and bought a bunch of items..I've NEVER done that before. And now that the place is looking better, I am feeling better about myself too.
Arrrrgh.. Going to buy cigs! So craving something. Just no steel reserve on way back. At least I 'm smoking less than 1/2 of what I usually do. Thanks for the posts guys. Helps me vent, know I'm human and not the only person who has ever gone through this.

Bought cigs. Rented Money Ball. No booz stop. GF is sick in bed (could have snuck a 24 stealie in and she would have never known). Sick mind shut up. Pizza in the oven. Wondering if I can focus on the movie... Signing off and gearing up for day 6.
