Hi! I’m new here, 5 days sober. I have been having a really bad bout of anxiety. My sleep and appetite have been awful. I listened to the huberman lab podcast on alcohol and was stunned. I honestly had no idea alcohol was so bad for you.
I fast twice a week and don’t drink. But… on my non fasting days I was having 2-3 glasses of wine a night. Maybe more on the weekends. I loved the way it made me feel. I miss it already but I know it was really just a few hours of feeling good and then a lot of hours of feeling so much worse.
Drinking has been such a big part of my life and I didn’t really know it or question it. I know I can do it but I’m worried I’m going to miss it.

Welcome. Great job on 5 days. Do you have a plan to stay sober? Have you considered AA or another recovery program? So many resources available online and in person to remain on the sober journey.
