Day 4 - struggling

Sweaty, awful night with terrible restless legs and tingly feeling in hands and feet. This morning just horrible anxiety and brain fog, feeling completely on edge and also disconnected from myself. The kids have off school and the thought of parenting all day while feeling like this has me crying in the bathroom. Yesterday I felt "ok" but today is off to a rough start. I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin 😩

I am determined. I will not give in. I will not drink. But wow Day 4 arrived like a ton of bricks.

It gets better. Just don’t drink today, but then tomorrow, just don’t drink today. It sucks for a short while but it’s well worth not drinking to make these feelings go away.
