Hey everyone,

Just checking in on Day 2. I'm still a bit shaky and weepy but beginning to feel better.

How is everyone doing?

Yah .... well done .... xxxxx
I'm on day 5.....had my first proper sleep last night.

Thanks, Shenzy, and well done on day 5!

Yeah, it takes a few nights for sleep to return to normal, as I know myself from previous experience. I slept a little better last night, but not quite normal just yet.

Good to meet you!

usually the worst of the physical was over by day 3 for me
but the emotional stuff will be in and out for awhile

Great job and keep posting! Better times are truly ahead

Thanks, Thepatman and Hawkeye.

Hawkeye, I like when you say 'better times are truly ahead'. I keep reading on here that if we can give sobriety a real, proper chance, that life just improves so dramatically. I keep holding onto that this time and am absolutely determined to give this a real fighting chance. I've nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Thanks for the support, everyone.
