Thanks everyone :) I'm a couple of days behind you. Can I ask, how are you finding it? My days seem to vary a lot. Some days it seems to be easy. Others, like yesterday, close to impossible. There doesn't seem to be any particular trigger, just some days I really, really want to have a drink and no amount of distraction seems to take my mind off it. |

Thanks NeoGuest. Keep us up to date on your progress. PedroChavez keep us updated... |
Congratulations! Go for a month now. I found things (sleep, cravings, boredom, moodiness, etc.) started to get much better after about the 18 day mark, so hang in there. |

Thanks johnt nothing seems to interest me to much at the moment hope that changes soon as for sleeping it has improved a lot.. onwards and upwards :) One thing I had thought about in my first couple weeks of sobriety is that, oddly enough when was drinking I didn't particularly like that I was doing it, but at the same time it was what I most looked forward to each and every day. For the most part it seemed like I would just "get through" whatever I needed to do in order to get to the point in my day when I was able to sit back and have that first sip of many. I would actually plan for it, plan things around it, and make sure that it happened, and I looked forward to it. Well, when I no longer had that, I felt lost and almost as though I had nothing to look forward to anymore. I felt depressed and moody and unsure what to do with myself... Maybe this is what you're experiencing too. I still feel it a little, but it is MUCH better now than what it was a couple weeks ago (I'm on Day 31). It's a matter of finding new routines, new things to do, new plans and after a while those are the things you start looking forward to. Hope things continue to get better! |
Thanks for that comment John. I'm only on day 6 but I'm finding it hard to do anything other than things I have to. I'm not doing the stuff I know I normally enjoy and it's worrying me a bit. Great to hear that this improved for you over time. Something to look forward to for sure! Best Wishes all. C |

Yeah, I actually had/have that too. It seems to be getting better for me too. I actually am looking forward to doing certain things, am planning things. I'm not sure if it's boredom, some lack of chemicals reaching the brain, depression, or a combination.
