I do understand the boredom. Everything seemed "brighter" when I was on a buzz. Maybe not so much when I got flat out drunk - but yes, everything seemed more interesting. And I would look forward to evenings so that I could get my "high". But on the ugly side, I'd hardly ever remember going to bed. I'd sleep for a few hours and then not at all. I'd not remember fights I'd start with my husband and son. I was always exhausted the next day - doing only what I had to and little else more.

One of the highlights, even if it seems small, is that I have not vomited since the night I quit (19 July 2015) and I was getting sick every single time I drank. (Which was every night). This is really a big deal to me!

ozm8ey, I wish you strength. Baby steps!
