Thank you everyone!! I have minimal real-life support so I've come to you guys and so glad I did. How do I feel? Well, I have ups and downs, good days and bad. I wake up feeling groggier than normal, but when I come out of it, I feel on top of the world. A feeling, like "hey I've done this so far!!" When I was drinking, I would get thoughts during the day like "oooh I can have a drink tonight", then reality slams me and it's "Oooh, no, no I can't" I still get depressed that I can't drink. I am doing this not only because my husband threatened to leave me if I brought home alcohol, but for my husband, my kids and my family. Alot of other reasons too (no hangovers, an eventual happy life). I have the wicked brain fog I can't kick, I can't think straight half the time, I feel tired alot. I'm ready for bed by 9. My appetite comes and goes. I've had alot of stressful days that make wish I could still drink, but it's not an option.
The headaches are subsiding, I don't get the shakes or other intense detox symptoms. I am still very anxious and over-emotional, but not really that bad! So I know it will take time and I will feel even better with each day and with my kids/family, I am determined to make it this time. Even if part of it is just proving everybody wrong!
