So I'm binge drinker....Till recent I' still drink maybe 2 beers a week...And had couple bad relapses....Well I' decided that I'm done with alcohol ....No more little beer here and there....When I drink I have good time first ,but I become aggresive and blackout a lot....after drinking big amount of alc.
I' dont go to AA much....the most urge I have when I'm under stress,anxiety....So I like to know how everybody felt ,when they stop drinking...It is little scary thou....:-b
(I have dreams in which I'always looking for alcohol,but have hard time to found some...always very upseting to me)

I'm less than two weeks in. I have zero desire to drink and my mind does feel somewhat clearer but I've been extremely tired, headachey and lacking in motivation.

Not sure if that's just a part of getting off the booze, if the short period of sobriety has allowed some other issues to come to the forefront or what. I am hoping to start feeling better soon.

I am over 3 months sober, now and then, specially at night which was when I used to drink, sometimes want a drink, desire usually handled with something sweet.
The other desire trigger are market trips, all that alcohol in display is complicated to say the least, specially when there are good wines on sale.
Other than that I am handling it ok

You have made a very good choice, and I hope you can get some help it is difficult to do this alone. Yes, I was scared, hopeful, excited all at the same time. The dreams are quite normal a lot of us have experienced them.
The good thing is that if you stop drinking the anxiety and stress may leave you, as alcohol is a well known depressant. The anxiety is your body craving its next fix. Search for inner peace, please try AA, you will be surprised. Good Luck

I am starting over again,on second day without drinking.My dreams don't consist of drinking or looking for a drink.Everytime I decide to stop,my dreams are always vivid with goodness and bad,however,the bad is scary,yet good and promising at the same time.That contridiction scares me most.At the same time I don't feel alone when I wake up.
