Hey everyone hope you guys are doing well! Just wanted to give an update since my first post to let you all know im one week and two days sober! The fourth day was the hardest for whatever reason, i felt so miserable, restless, sad one minute, angry the next. But after that day it seemed to get easier.
Ive noticed a huge change in my energy and motivation. I havent woken up multiple times at night with anxiety. Ive been sleeping through the night. My skin is slowly improving, cheeks are definetely not as red. My head feels clear, i actually feel "present" if that makes sense. Ive been trying to eat more healthily, and the combination of that and not having all those extra empty calories from beer ive lost 3 pounds in just over a week.
It seems so hard at the begining, but if you can get past that mountain and start realizing the positive affects that are happening to your mind and body, I hope you all can also see that life is better without alcohol. You are worth it, and dont give up.
1st week in 'detox' was my worst too ... absolutely miserable as you said ... it took me about two months to get to sleeping through the night ... I had good Doctors and staff that made the journey less painful ... and I'm grateful for the 'pushing' they did to get me to start 'thinking' right ...
I'm Thrilled to death that you're seeing, experiencing the positive effects on your mind and body ... Life is most definitely better without alcohol ...
Great post Sunset ...
Love ya and God Bless, Pappy
