Hi again,

3rd day with no drink now.. but i must say i'm feeling really weak today. Almost as if one of my friends called me and asked me to go out for a drink i would! But i think i would stop myself doing it, i just have that weak feeling and its crap!
I feel pathetic only being on my 3rd day too! When does it start to feel better? Does it never feel better?

I can't believe how i look when i see myself in the mirror.. I never even really noticed before.. I've put on so much weight through drinking and look so bloated and a total mess! That makes things even worse! Will i start to shed some of that 'bloat' fairly quickly? I need something to cling onto, to spur me on- maybe weight loss could be my incentive. Any info?

Thanks for all those who replied to my other post so quickly. You guys all are so welcoming! I'm so glad to have found this place. X

I DON'T KNOW IF, THE HEALTH FACTORS MADE ME WANT TO STOP AS MUCH AS THE MENTAL ANGUISH

The longer you're sober, the better you'll feel

Yes, it does get better. You will feel so much better and want to do and be willing to do all kinds of fun active things. The weight will come off.

The third day is a b!tch to get through and after a week it gets better as far as going nuts goes. As far as the weight is concerned, I wouldn't worry about it at this time.

You'll replace booze weight with food weight and look better eventually.

Hang in there and try not to think of an ice cold beer like I am today. You''ll have good days and bad ones along the way.

count the days you were drunk? I bet they were far more than 3.

AA meetings are where I learned how to stay sober and enjoy it.

Blessings...
