Ive been drinking pretty heavily every night for about 8 months now… i started drinking to help me sleep at night…it started with one drink and we all know how that story goes. I was terrified of withdrawals because as a former opiate addict i had assumed i would have the really bad kind of withdrawals that send you to the hospital… so this week i wanted to do a test a run. I gave my husband my only liquor in the house and told him to throw it away if i make it past 48hrs… well here i am… i honestly feel amazing! No nausea no shaking no runs… I feel like even if i did get a little shakey with a headache ive got enough mental happiness that i can take it.! I was most worried about having a seizure and i know that can still happen at the 72hr mark but as good as i feel i dont think that will happen. Wish me luck DAY 2 IN THE BAG
This is a great step forward 
Congratulations and your doing amazing

. Has your husband chucked the liquor away ? It’s not a good plan to have it in the house 
Yep he sure did i feel so good and its almost the 72 hour mark
Im amazing! Day four in the bag and we have a generator since we have lost power… no withdrawals minus a headache but ive been making sure i maintain hydration and electrolytes and eating balanced meals. I was so done with it that I’m thoroughly enjoying the better sleep and i have my birthday to look good for in dec. So ive got so many healthy things I’m looking forward to
Im day 10 now working to 2 weeks and ive never felt more motivated… ive gotten up every morning to go walk since the hurricane past… im almost exclusively drinking water and i just feel so good!
That is awesome!! Keep going!! Glad you made it through the hurricane .
Congratulations on Day 10
