Day 4 and want to bite someone’s head off!

Made it through Day 4 today but it was bumpy. Didn’t sleep well last night (I know it takes time), but had to get up for work. Ate a big brekkie and packed lots of food, man am I eating a lot. I’ve read up on hypoglycemia and alcoholism and I think it really affects me. If I don’t eat the equivalent of a whole sandwich every two hours I get cranky and woozy and the AV comes knocking. Stopped at fast food on the way home and stuffed my face again. I anticipate this will normalize but until it does I eat and drink gobs of water.

Going to relax, meditate and get to bed early tonight. See y’all again for Day 5...

Well done on four days, Pinnacle.

Keep moving forward. Your eating habits will normalize with time.

Keep it up! I’m sure it will normalize with a little time. In the early days I wouldn’t worry about much other than staying sober, the rest will work itself out. From a fellow Oregonian- You’re doin’ good!
