I just wanted to post for my own milestone and a quick question.
I’ve never gone more than 2 days without alcohol unless I was pregnant. Now tomorrow will be one week!
I’m feeling good and not having cravings (I’ve been invited out by friends 3x this week and had 3 opportunities yesterday to sneak away and buy something, but didn’t!).
I’m feeling so much better mentally and emotionally, but I feel really flu-ish. I mean, a little sickness has gone through my house but it’s like a nagging headache and congestion for me. Is that normal? I was drinking a case + sometimes more of white claw every day. I just want the headache to go away
Congratulations on one week!! That’s fantastic! For me one of the most important things that first week was learning I could resist an urge, because before that I almost never did. You’re building sober muscles.
I think it’s pretty common to feel crappy for the first few weeks. Your body is going through a lot. Make sure you’re taking care of yourself. And if you haven’t already, check out What’s YOUR plan? It realllllly helped me understand what I was going through!
Congrats on your 1 week sobriety. Your body system makes a lot of adjustments early on. Dehydration for sure, drink lots of water. Probably lacking some essential vitamins as well. Keep going!
Great job on 1 week sober. No need to turn back now. You know what happens back there. Great things come about in a life of recovery. Keep fighting the good fight!
