Any tips or advice

[Stewart Talbot]

Hi, My names Stew form sunny Brighton in the UK and I'm sort of new to all this. I'm on my 15 day sober which is the 2nd longest I've ever been in 23 yrs (I once did 5 months about 7 years ago). I stopped on my own and suddenly which I realise wasn't the cleverest thing I've ever done but the shakes and nausea etc only lasted 3 days days. The hardest bit is the craving that always seems to be there bubbling just under the surface all the time, that and trying to get used to dealing with reality being in my face all the time. It's tending to make me somewhat short tempered and I never lose my temper normally ever. It's all rather bewildering to be honest. I'm absolutely determined to do this and do it for good this time. Even with that niggling little demon telling me that one drink will be ok, because I know now that it has be total sobriety with me. I've changed my diet to a very low carbs and shed loads of fruit and veg with pulses and fish for protien and that seems to be helping a lot but if anyone's got any other tips or advice I'd be really grateful. Thanks .
