only five days sober

Hi everyone! I'm five days sober from alcohol today. I have been drinking heavy since the age of eighteen . I'm thirty one now and I'm very tired. I tried to stop before and couldn't but last night was the first time in a loong time that I turned down a drink that was offered so I'm on a roll and feeling great. I Hope every one else is and thanks for listening.

Hey Allears, and welcome to SR!

I really relate to being "very tired". Man, alcohol is tiring, isn't it?

Glad you're here - there's a lot of good information on this site that can keep you reading for hours. Not to mention the great support of SR folks...

Hope you hang around.

Hello allears! Welcome to a great place.

5 days is fabulous - I remember how hard it was to get through those first ones. It'll all get easier. Great that you've decided to go for a new life - "I'm very tired" sums it up well.

Congrats on day 5! That's great. I know what you mean about being tired. When I was drinking, I was exhausted! Insomnia was a regular occurrence, and I just always felt "beat up". Feel so much better now that I am 73 days clean:-)

Congrats again!
