Yah for you! If you haven't started yet, pick up a pen and start a journal- jot down every success, challenge and new experience in your sobriety. One of the things that helped me immensely was that I could review past entries and see where my head was that led up to a slip. Now I can see patterns and be ready for them which bolsters my sobriety.

Hang in there and take it a day at a a time.

It takes 14 days to get over all the withdrawal symptoms. Hang in there only one week to go.

14 days I didn't know that, good to know thanks:)
And I have started journaling something which I never did the previous times and you right it does help with sorting things out.
Also right now I have engery after my 3 cups of coffee :)

Hi.

I'm on day 7 and actually slept right through and then some last night.

First time in years.

Fell asleep around 20:00 and woke up at 07:00.

I find that popping half a dextrose or glucose tablet when needed helps me with the inevitable daily fatigue and sugar loss from giving up the booze.

HI --

I stopped drinking for 11 days (relapsed yesterday) and noticed the same thing - I felt run down even though I was getting 8 hours of sleep per night. I was also going to the gym which was new for me so I attributed some of my tiredness to that.

Good luck!

Today I am at 8 days, yay :) and still have havent had any urges to slip. When I get anxiety I remember to breath and have been trying to meditate. I read that that is a good tool. Also yesterday when I was starting to feel sluggish around 7pm and still had housework to do, I made myself jump on my elliptical machine, once I got on there I blasted some high energy music and It was a great release. I'm excited to get to day 14 so I can be free and clear of these hopefully ;)
