Today makes 3 days since I finally decided to cut drinking out all together. I was scared to detox and have withdrawals, but so far I’m surprised how I’ve pushed past the thoughts and anxiety. Sleep sucks SO bad, but insomnia is nothing new, so I’m using the time I have free to nap when I can. I’m noticing myself wanting to interact with my kids and husband a bit more, but I’m still so early into this that I still try to stay in my room and isolate. I hope that gets better with time, I miss bonding with them so much.
Also, I finally told my Mom and aunt that I’m an alcoholic. I thought it would go bad but it felt good to say it out loud to someone other than my husband. So, I decided that today I’d get on here and tell people that I don’t know yet, but I know this will help me in the long run. I don’t want to be embarrassed or hide anymore.
