Hi everyone. I’m over the worst now. My 1st 3 days were hell. I’m so ashamed of the 20+ years I spent hungover. I’m ready to start living now. Please god don’t let me be tempted again. I hate it. Still waiting for the feel good vibes to kick in, I’m so tired all the time. I don’t know how I have made it to 10 days. Bed early every night, not sleeping well but maybe it takes time? I have drank 2.5 bottles of wine every other night since 1998. Some weeks more. I’m 44. I have been living with extreme hangovers most of my waking days. I dont want them back. I’m not sure whats changed this time, a full day spent in the bathroom getting sick probably. Realising i realy am as bad as it can get. Hiding behind the smell of drink. Days in bed. Too hungover to keep appointments. No time for anything only drinking wine and hangovers. Here I am at DAY 10!! No drink. Im shocked I’m writing this.
Congrats on 10 days sober. Being sick all day will help get you sober. Coming here and also doing things every single day for your sobriety will keep you sober. Welcome to the community
Well done!
Sobriety is the gift I’ve given myself for when I turn 40 and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my life so far, but I know a life without alcohol means making even greater decisions and experiencing even greater adventures and opportunities.
Living a life by default, completely hungover is no life at all.
Give yourself time. It’ll take time, but it’ll continue to get better and better.
Don’t look back!
I’m rooting for you. 🩷
1000% agree
Great job LadyHatt
Congratulations on your 10 days
I can relate to everything you said. Booze and hangovers daily. That was no way for me to live. It was so painful. And planning my all waking hours around my next drink.
That first ten days really are the worst.
Stick with us friend. This is the right place to be.
Keep going!!! You’ll be amazed at how much things start smoothing out. Fellow winegal, age 46, 35 days.
Great stuff, keep stacking up those days
Amazing achievement, @LadyHatt, congratulations on your first 10 days and keep fighting the good fight!
Congratulations on your 10 days!!!
Congratulations! It will get easier, keep going. That shame and hungover cycle is harrowing and a real spiral. The sleep will happen, being sober is more important!
Massive effort for Ten days it takes so much strength.
Keep checking in. ONE DAY AT A TIME
Congratulations on double digits!
You are a miracle! It only gets better from here.
Be very cautious though. It’s easy to forget where we came from after we’re over the horrible withdrawal faze. Finding a program and working it daily keeps me from going back out.
Oh I remember them well, well done and keep it simple one day at a time.
Ayyy congrats!! . Believe me when I tell you Tim does fly! I opened my app today and saw I’m on my 19th day and couldn’t believe it. My story is créemelo similar to yours so understand you . Let’s hang in there together in this beautiful community which helps so much in this journey 🩷
Came by to check on you. How’s it going?
Still sober. My god it’s hard going. I am posting here when I feel lost. Thing with that is all my post seem to be gloomy. But hopefully it will change. A lot say when you reach 4 weeks the mood lifts. How have you been?
Congrats and keep going, one day at a time! Life sober is way better!
I’m proud of you!! I’m doing good I have 84 days sober
