really happy feelings
Today is day 16, yay
Besides that I feel that I actually have achieved something already,
I feel I have more energy even though I am so tired due to a lack of sleep (5 hours only).
I smile/laugh much more. I even like smiling at babies and little toddlers at work (K mart)
(I am not so sure yet how I will perform differently in my Photography Job (main income) coz I have not taken on jobs yet. Only some real estate photography work and that goes fine, but does not require any creativity though)
I am more positive about everything omg.
I am not down.
I fall asleep easier.
I eat normal again, which means 3 meals a day instead of just breakfast (ok if I don't feel like cooking or am mega tired I will skip dinner).
I feel like my guts are not so heavy and yuk inside
I think I lost a kilo
I don't have/ hardly have any bags under my eyes anymore, My skin seems to look healthier too
I hope I will keep these positive feelings and changes.
Anyone else here that feels the same?
I am reading a lot how people at the early stages of sobriety feel miserable and craving sugar etc
I am not craving sugar at all, I am a savory girl.
I do admit I drink tea and coffee by the buckets now.
This is my first attempt to get sober and stay sober hopefully.
I know, don't get too happy, I have only 2 months of Campral in total, will have to do it on my own after that. Own willpower. But right now I am doing so well.
Did not have the shakes or sweating on day one of detox. Just heavy headache, grumpy, aggro,insomnia, and felt nauseous and no patience.
First 2 days on Campral I only took 3 pills a day instead of 6 (I did not know I was supposed to take 6) I was all over the place!
I was highly emotional and cravings. Couldn't stop thinking about my favourite beer. They increased it to 6 pills a day and since then I am having nil cravings
Thanks for everyone reading this.

Pink cloud, dangerous clouds
Yeah I know I should not be too happy.
Even though I am doing really well atm I am aware that once I have to do it on my own, no meds, that I will struggle, That's what I have got you mob for
It all feels too good to be true atm.
I am enjoying myself, I am happy. But for how long?
Reading about it all , your stories here on the forum, makes me realise it is not all that great and easy.
Maybe I am just happy atm to not have had a freaking hangover for 16 days.
I am a very stubborn person, I will not give in. Well I hope I will not.

realizing we are blessed to be sober -- staying humble

we need to realize how we have been blessed with sobriety
and there in nothing wrong with feeling happy about it
but, staying sober for most is a very serious matter
especially in the beginning
we need to keep a full sober tool belt handy at all times
as you have noted -- this site is of much help
good luck
