Day 3 checking in
So I'm on day 3 now. I woke up feeling good, lots of energy. But I made the mistake of having *a very small amount* of coffee this morning. Like 1/2 cup mixed with 1/2 cup of decaf. I don't drink coffee much at all, like maybe once or twice a month. Anyway, now I'm feeling really shaky and anxious and can't tell if it's just the caffeine or if it's withdrawal. I've had many, many "day 3s" mind you and I wasn't a daily drinker, usually every other day after work. I usually experience mild to moderate withdrawal...mild shakiness, some anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, irritability, insomnia, strange dreams...all of which I've had. I read somewhere in here that someone described their dreams during withdrawal as being like a plot from a Stephen King book/movie. I was laughing this morning as I remembered my dreams from last night and the night before...SO TRUE! I should be writing them down, could be sitting on a goldmine! Anyway, in spite of the shakiness and all that, I'm feeling positive and am going to keep going. I'm determined that this is the last day 3 of my life. I just hope the withdrawals get better....anyway, everyone has a good sober day.

Thank you for posting, cryingbuddha and congratulations on your sober time.
Alcohol was not my drug of choice but I can really relate to a new sensitivity to coffee and strange and vivid dreams.
I know it must not be easy, but you are doing great and inspiring others. Keep going!
