One week!

A week ago I was still drunk, heading into a horrendous hangover. Huge headache, nauseous, shakey, dizzy and so anxious and depressed that I could not see a future beyond the day. Physically, emotionally and spiritually sick as a dog.
And now, a week later, I am onto day 8. I feel pretty good. Very little anxiety, no headache. No shaking. No night sweats. I have an appetite. I feel hopeful about the future. I can see that there absolutely is a life without binge drinking 2-3 times a week and all of the self loathing, anxiety and depression that goes along with that.

Your post could have been me writing that. I'm on day 9 and like you are starting to feel hope for the future. Congratulations.
