My day 4's numbered into the hundreds. I relapsed, unknowingly for 40 plus years.

Now I know that whether I drink daily or take a few days off, I am still doing irreversible damage to my brain and body.

Booze is a brain damaging neuro toxin that causes immediate euphoria and addiction. Armed with this knowledge and the physical/mental problems I was having I knew quitting was the absolute right thing to do.

An extremely deep mental and physical addiction kept me lieing to myself. SR taught me how to trek out of the hell on earth. It was so hard and painful.

That pain is branded in my brain and while the av still periodically beckons, i defeat it with memories of my hell.

Hope this helps. Posting here helps me remain a non drinker.

Thanks.

Brilliant, well done.

Now keep going and don't give in to any cravings no matter what, ride them out like a storm.

Hope your work anxiety eases very soon.

Hi JackD89. You are on the right track. That clear head, with calm and quiet in your life, is priceless. Every day can be that way from here on out. Not all unicorns and rainbows of course. But the peace of mind and ability to look at problems as they arise with a clear head are great ends all by themselves.

At four days sober, you should be nearly done with the worst of the physical withdrawal. And while early recovery can be a bumpy road, it should start getting better, day by day.

Things only get better, trust me. I am rooting for you!
