Day 8 Brain fog lifting slightly ..

So today is Day 8 and my brain fog has lifted slightly. I still have some written work to do today but after that I will clean the house and watch the snow falling outside. I actually bought a tapestry last week as I know that I need to keep my hands busy to keep my brain away from alcohol... so I’ll get that out and see if I can remember how to do it ! Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday !

You're heading in the right direction ICDT. Alcohol would only take you back to where you were 8 days ago and you would have it all to do over again. Keep as busy as you can.

You're doing great ICDT! I know you really want this, and I am really impressed at your strength and courage. I also have struggled with several relapses over the years (decades, really) but it is totally possible to do it and reclaim your life.

The falling snow sounds WONDERFUL from my perspective here in the desert. Enjoy it!

Please stay with this. You are doing great and have a better life ahead of you.

Day 8 is awesome ICDT. You are doing so well. Keeping those hands occupied is such a good idea. A few months after I got sober, I realized I yearned for that immediate satisfaction of physical tasks. I ended up taking a second job repairing and tuning up small engines and garden gadgets. It is so therapeutic to work with our hands.
