Day 4 over thank god!
Well today was a day of my mind trying to convince me that I am not an alcoholic and just one wouldn't hurt...or even a couple. I even drove into the car park for the bottle shop but drove straight through after reminding myself why I want to stay sober. I cant actually believe im sitting here sober...So much time I have wasted in drunken numbness. Functioning in some capacity but not living at all.
In the last 4 days I have started dreaming again! I can smell my food which is bizarre because I didn't think alcohol dulled your sense of smell. I'm eating food again rather than just surviving on the empty alcohol calories.
My husband said today I am a completely different person...and that I was like a cardboard person before. I am starting to notice my little boys beautiful personalities and loving hugs with them rather than blindly getting through the day barely communicating with them at all...I even did homework with them tonight!!
I have a really long way to go....it's been really tough and the only thing that's keeping me on track is this site. I hope the cravings will subside. I hope my mind will stop trying to talk me into thinking its ok to drink and that I can control it and this time ill drink sensibly in future. I cannot drink sensibly so I am going to try my hardest to stay sober.
Thanks for being there for me everyone....your posts keep me going

Congratulations on making through day four. That was always the toughest day for me, too.
Glad to here you're doing well, and the changes in you sound great.
What works for me, is thinking that first drink through to the end. Getting drunk and being hungover never solved anything. It just made my life a selfish mess.
You can do this!
Best to you.
