I’m feeling good today. After three days of feeling terrible and doing some tapering, I was able to lay my head down last night and get a relatively decent sleep. I know how hard these first few days/weeks are. And I know the holidays are going to be tough, but The toxicity alchol puts in my life is just not worth it

YAY! Sleep is so necessary.

Yes, the first few weeks are uncomfortable but well worth it. You can do this.

Doing great so far! Sleep helps so, so much!

The addiction will use any reason to drink. Success, failure, nobody will know, health, sickness....you name it.

Not drinking is painful (sometimes masked as feeling so good) and causes tremendous anxiety and insanity.

But, every clean moment seemed to build. It has been an insidiously slow healing process that one slip is promised to reset. After the slip it is stressed that all the shame and anxiety return but start out from a deeper hole.

I still see growth every day.

The thing I am saying today is...I need to get comfortable being uncomfortable. Just saying that to myself makes me feel stronger.

Thanks.

Fantastic! Especially on the taper. Many people are unable to do that.

Keep up the good work!
