Finally!
 

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to check in. I am finally feeling a bit better!! Seriously it has just been rough since I stopped drinking. Mind you I did have a series of virus's that kept me under the weather. But for the first month I felt like I could sleep the whole day and had a headache that would not let up. Then, a few days ago I felt clear and strong. It feels really good to be off that horrible cycle. It's so nice to not hide from other people as well. I was always hiding from people when I was drunk/and or hungover. I still have considerable anxiety but I find that is a natural state for me. Oh and I have lost 5 pounds with little effort. My face isn't puffy and red either. I am doing this for me but also for my son. I grew up with drunk parents. I never want him to feel unsafe in his own home. I know this is still very earlier sobriety yet, but the last few days have been good.

It's good to hear that. I expected to wake up on day 2 feeling great from not having drank yesterday, but I feel rotten. Nice to hear it gets better! I'm going back to bed. Enjoy your day!

good for you cusper. Good for all of us!

Hooray, you!

You never have to go through those first days again.

Well done. Xx

Good job! Your son will appreciate your sobriety.

Sounds like you are on the Sober Road there.
Stay strong -- keep doing it.

Thank you everyone for your responses! It made my day. I was out at a superbowl party tonight and everyone was drinking. Was a bit difficult but I soon got over it and played hide go seek with the kids for a while.
