The Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Support Thread - Numero 9!

ForeverHopeful_3

I'm off to bed soon. I've managed my first day AF in a very long time. I have an anxious kind of feeling, like a tightness in my chest. Would think I'll probably not sleep too well, although feel shattered.

Hot milk and honey might help. Just trying to block out the thoughts of that glass of wine is difficult. I know I don't need it and I certainly don't want it. It's a habit though. But I have never, would never pour my first glass at this time of night.

Will go get my hot drink.....

Great to hear your news Sim, fantastic

Hope everyone else is okay this flippin' freezin morning BRRRR

30 days sober for me, it'll be my one monthiversary after being AF tonight. NEVER felt better, physically and emotionally, I'd recommend it

It's so funny that just a short 4 weeks and 2 days ago, I was a pale shaking wreck with a knotted stomach, fuzzy head, puffy face, swollen gums, bad taste in mouth, lank hair, tingling/numb toes, exhausted, low self esteem, sad, angry and depressed that I constantly lose my battle with alcohol.

Today I am just like springwatchgirls post on the first post of this thread, I am not afraid to look at myself in the mirror, my stomach feels normal, I no longer shake, hair is healthier, face not puffy (though am suffering detox spots :eek:), I have rosy cheeks for the first time in over 20 years, everyone's commenting on it, eyes are white, no numbness or tingling, feel I can conquer ANYTHING and most of all, which is the most pleasing, I haven't laughed so much in all my life as I have the past few weeks, I'm beginning to feel as though I might be a nice person to have around rather than that serious, ill looking zombie.

Imagine having a hangover and looking at yourself in the mirror after just 6 hours sleep. That was me everyday. Ridiculous.

So very happy

Only popped on to say good morning, dunno where all that came from :rotfl:

Right, off to jump in to shower

Chow for now
