day 2 and going strong...
 

I'm on day 2 (although it feels like day 3 because I stopped drinking Sunday morning). I feel pretty good - a little lazy, not really getting much done, but I feel alright.

The only thing bothering me is my eyes - they've been red and burning all day. I'm sure this is because of not drinking, though I can't figure out why - anyone else experience this?

Anyways, I'm pretty upbeat today. I'm grateful for the warm welcome from you all, and I hope to have many more sober days from now on :)

Hang in there ! We have the same quit date ! Sorry to hear about your eyes, my guess would be to use some Visine and a cool was cloth.

First few days might be a very big challenge. Be strong and you will get better.

Have you changed your face cream lately?

A few weeks ago I had 5 days sober... that detox was pretty bad, I'm thinking maybe this time I won't detox as bad since I just went through it. And no, embarassingly enough - I've been drunk just about every night for so long, I had given up any hope of a facial routine (I never wash or moisturize before bed, just pass out). That's so gross and embarassing. But that will all change this week!

I used to drink each and every evening for at least a year. I stopped because the only way was going deeper in that pond.

I have ordered a box full of face washes, creams and moisturizers. I want to be a girly girl again.

Nothing to be embarassed about, I don't know many alcoholics that had a nightly ritual of maintaining their beauty! My ritual was drink till I fell over, I don't think I changed my underpants for days on end. Classy, I know. Good job on day 2!

When I was drinking, I neglected my daily hygeine too. I would go weeks without shaving or a trip to the barber. There's pictures of me where I'm unrecognizable and I look like a lumberjack haha. It feels good not to be mistaken as a homeless person now!

Oh yeah, drinking definitely cuts into hygene, lol. I remember being too drunk to feel like showering and then the next day id feel so gross...but too hungover to drag myself up to shower. looking back now im like, ewwwww.

Glad you are doing well Snowdaisy. Keep on goin. It does get better.

God bless.

One moment at a time. :)

Keep coming back here .

Good for you!

I will join you at 2 days tomorrow...
