HI there is always controversy about having a glass of wine with dinner early on in recovery the answer is no....a buzz is a buzz is a buzz no mater how suttle it may seam its way to ez to become cross addicted to something else even something we never had problems with b/4
I cant even count how many people have fallen back to the DOC because of drinking
your best to stear clear of alcohol all together for me it use to be part of a bigger problem
I took my last drink 5yr8mo ago because of that good luck and God bless....Gnarly

Also do I completely have to stay away from alcohol? Can I have a beer or wine once a week?  Wine is kinda part of my culture.

It might be a week or two, maybe more for the moody stuff to stabilize..Alot I believe is related to the amount of time one has been consistantly(everyday) relying on pills to get thru the days.We altered our chemical balance and it wasn't overnight it changed. Nor is it going to re-set itself overnight..I live in the "one of these days " thoughts when addressing that concern. That way you don't set yourself up for a perceived failure by not feeling as good as you hoped for at any particular time during this process....And yeah, a bubble bath??whatever works for you :)

I know this sounds kinda sounds not too manly but I had to take a epsom salt bath with Johnson and Johnson night time baby bath. Lol! What ever works right? :)

Congrats from me too - a nap sounds like the perfect idea!  And great day for it here as it snowed last night and everything outside looks beautiful.  Definitely the perfect day to snuggle up and enjoy the down time.  Good for you! :)
