Day One, fuzzy beyond belief

Finally I’m ready to say day one...

I’ve been drinking up to 2 bottles a night since March according to my last post and have been wanting to stop but have scared myself with thoughts of seizures so have been trying to cut down which never works...

I keep buying a box of wine and trying to work out how long it will last but then finding a beer the next day so planning finishing that with one more bottle...

Finally this morning right now I have no alcohol in the house, zero, nothing, nada!

This is it, I’m ready...

Be safe, FF. Are you alone? Congrats for taking the first step! It's a big one, but you can do it! What do you want to do as a non drinker that you can't do now? That will be such a nice reward!

Thanks...

1. I want to be in control and not wake up the next morning not knowing how the evening ended.
2. I want to be there for my children, daily and long term.
3. I want that elusive amazing sleep that being sober gives you.

I’m on day one with you. I also woke up with no alcohol in the house. I didn’t drink my usual drink or the excessive amounts that I typically do so I still had withdrawals during the night. It won’t be easy but you can do it.

Consider going to a doctor for meds to help with withdrawal. I have some left from my last serious attempt. If needed I’ll definitely go get some more. It makes a big difference.

You can do this! We’ll do it together. 🙂

That's a great list FF. Have you given any thought as to what you might do to make sure you have those things? By that I mean have you decided if you will use any formal type of recovery plan?
