Day3 working on 4
 

On a positive note, I think ive turned the corner on my detox. The immediate symptoms from withdrawal are over, the insomnia too! Hence why this is being posted at 10am and not 4 am. Still not out of the woods, but i feel better.

Whats funny is im now realizing that that might have actually been the easy part. (2 days ago I would have kicked my today A** for saying that). But this has been my traditional pat myself on the back or oh crap! now i have to deal with all my short comings/fears/mistakes and well you know all the emotional/mental problems. What I like to call psychic pains. Well game on! Have a happy sober day everyone!

Great Job Nuff. You are well on your way. I have had multiple day one's. I hope your day one was your last. I several days under my belt this time and I am feeling much better as well. Stay the course.

Great stuff nuffsEnuff!! Day 3 is still fantastic, I remember when I couldn't string 24hrs together, so be proud of yourself!!

But keep it going!! You can do this!! :)

Nice work on day 4, day 3/4 were usually the hardest for me too.

I think you are spot on with your realization as well - physical detox, while unpleasant, is fleeting and finite. Coming to terms with a sober lifestyle is a much longer process, and it's a very difficult time - many do return do drinking at that point. Having a plan in place really helps, I hope we can assist you in that area.

wow!! good for you... day 11 here and still having some withdrawal symptoms...
Good for you if you don't have any anymore! (jealous here! ;))

enjoy your sobery day!
