After the first three days, I started to feel so much better. I used to go right back to bed after breakfast and getting the kids off to school. Now I'm cleaning, running errands, and have started cleaning up my backyard. I play word games on my phone, read, and watch television during the down times. Although the 3pm time rolls around and I think about drinking, I can't really say I CRAVE it. To sum it up, life now has a bit of excitement attached to it. So many possibilities have opened up and occurred to me. Being up in my own head and drinking gave me tunnel vision. I also was easily depressed, and looked forward to that drink everyday so I could feel normal again. What I feel now is the real "normal". Once again, I am so humbled. It hasn't been that hard....I will not take that for granted. Having been in recovery before, I know it will be hard sometimes, but I GOT THIS> I will not fail this time. I want this life I am living now. So much happier, and so are my children and my husband. Thanks for asking and providing support
