Well I'll be sober for 2 years in a few months, it's been a he'll of a experience. So if any ones try to quit this is how it went for me
1 to 6 months is full of shaking and confusion at least for me. I was a bad alcoholic before I quit, shakes and bad withdrawals if I didn't drink, my short term memory was shot couldn't remember a thing, crazy depression and anxiety, I would have these days were I could just feel the damage is did to my brain. I would get super light headed, and couldn't think straight. And I didn't deal with stress and pressure very well,
6 months to a year was just as hard. I began to emotionally come back to life and that was the hardest I had to feel everything I was drinking away, it was awful, my body got sick very easily, had the most colds and flues of my entire life in this period. I was super weak as well body had no athletic ability lost weight, no coordination at all,
1 year was when I begin to see positive things happening. I began to feel natural joy for the first time in years, and able to enjoy hobbies without a buzz, still going through ups and downs all the time my emotions where still all over the place. But my brain fog had lifted and I was able to concentrate for long periods of time,
1 year and a half I finally felt normal again, we're I can live and not but a emotional wreck. Just a normal person again I guess, living with real passion again. Married and have a business. So for anyone out there trying to get on track, you can do it and you will come back.
Just put your trust in God and go for it cheers
