It's been eight days since I woke up covered in mustard..the kitchen was as well. I have been doing ok. I'm not sure about how I feel sometimes..been telling myself the anxiety is caused from lack of alcohol and that helps me deal with it. Also telling myself that the way I feel at the moment isn't bad...I'm just not used to it and that's been helping to. Have been talking to God a lot. Finding it easy to eat breakfast and lunch..actually enjoy it. Also seem to be somewhat hyperactive at times but reminding myself to breathe while I'm at it. So far so good. Looking forward to a better future. Thankful for this site.

Good stuff badatbooze. Over time the symptoms get less and less. Its just a matter of getting through the rough patches and trying to do the right thing.

Thanks 4x I'm looking forward to it. And it is the right thing to do. I'm glad I am finally realizing it. I just hope it's not to late to make a positive impression on my boys.
They are well on there way to living the same way I have and that kills me to think about.

Medical literature robustly concludes that alcohol increases anxiety. Took me about 80-90 days to be free of that.

I also had to find new things to DO. I was accustomed to doing nothing and drinking. Expanding my repertoire of things to do helped me quite a bit. Replaced my bad habit with some good habits.

Congrats on 8 days!!! Keep it going!

Well done on 8 days. Hopefully the mustard will go on your hot dogs next time.
