I woke up feeling very light headed and a bit shaky as my alcohol consumption has got quite high in last few months and my head is telling me I should have a small drink as shouldn’t stop all at once.
This is a lie ! I did it before when I first gave up and that was after years of daily drinking.
I went for a long walk and made some nice lunch and I now have some work to catch up to.
It is crazy how our hijacked brain will create this internal dialogue. I’m sure many, myself included, can identify with that. Stay determined and keep at it. One day at a time.
If you are managing long walks it probably isn’t the case but just remember that there are dangers to suddenly stopping if you are chemically dependant on alcohol so if you experience bad symptoms, maybe consult a doctor?
