So I havent drank in a week. This is the longest time I have gone since I was 14 year old (I am in my 40s).
So for those of you just starting off, here is what I experienced in my first week:
*I had withdrawl for a couple days. That was tough. But lots of carbonated water and pop to replace alcohol did the trick for me. And lots of support from this site. I have no cravings right now (not to say it wont happen down the road).
*Having a clear head every day, with no hangover, is an unbelieveable feeling. I can think all day, which I could not do when I was hungover.
*I have had a closer relationship with my kids this week. I didn't realize what I was missing out on until I stopped.
*And the best feeling of all, no guilt about drinking the next day!
And if you tried to quit before, and it didnt work, thats OK. You can try again.
Good luck to everyone, and thanks for the support.
