Feeling better

[tribalhope]

Today marks the first week I have been sober in quite along time n I have to admit it feels pretty good.  I have been exercising, eating good and losing some weight too!  I sleep soo much better don't wake up sweating or feeling my heart pounding in the middle of the nite.  I love waking up without having bloodshot eyes n red blotchy skin.  I even feel more positive my wellbutrin must be kickin in.  I don't need the xanax anymore either.  My H and I have been getting along MUCH better too.  Last nite he told me he probably wouldn't have quite if I hadn't been there to do it with him, I feel the same way.  I am feeling slightly concerned about superbowl sunday but I think we will just stay home with the kids n watch the game but u know how drinking is always a big part of the game at least it was at all the superbowl parties I went to.  Some days I still have some diarreha but I think thats from eating better more fiber, veggies ect...my body doesn't know how to act.  Honestly the first day was the hardest, taking the first step was very difficult.  I felt very depressed, but now I am feeling very positvie and can now see how the people around me function without alchohol and I feel very motivated!!

hi everybody. I'm still alive despite myself-several hospitalizations and 4 days in the brown LA haze (buffet fans will understand), I spent the last week detoxing myself- I don't recommend it. Simultaneously, I went through effexor withdrawal until It was either get refill or commit myself. God definitely has been as close as I would permit him. I sure won't forget this-i thought I understood the principles and the descriptions of hopelessness in the big book-but I have come to find out how little I really knew in my heart. Oh ya, got pancreatitis now too. Anyhoo, don't know where I'm going-but I sure know where I've been, and just for right now I'm sober. Best wishes to you all- GM
