I had built a life for years doing the exact same routine.

1. wake up
2. work
3. start drinking immediately when work is done
4. continue until I cannot stay awake

on the weekends, I would do the same but simply wait until 5 or so to start drinking. This went on for years.

I'm only on day 5, still taking meds to control withdrawal, but starting around yesterday, I've been incredibly annoyed just sitting around at home all day long. My wife is a homebody, so she's already reacting strangely. I woke up this morning and asked my wife "what do you want to do today?" I've literally never ever done that in our 3 years married.

Also, I feel like the withdrawal symptoms are subsiding. I have some lingering stomach issues, but that's it. I went to sleep last night!!!!

Is this normal? I also felt a strong urge to get a hair cut and clean up yesterday. What's happening to me? lol Am I going to become that guy I always wished I would be?
