One symptom of alcohol dependence is needing an "eye opener" or sometimes called "hair of the dog" etc. it's taking at least a small drink when one gets up. Alcohol has a fairly short half-life in the human body so you can go to sleep OK on, say, 125ml like I did last night and 8 hours later, having woken up, feel shaky. But I was OK. I'd taken kava last night too and had a nice sleep with no weird dreams.
So today no need to take a nip until about 7PM and then a very small one; 20ml. Been taking kava too. The key to getting off alcohol is Delay, Dilute, and put up with about 72 hours of Discomfort.
I did more voice exercises last night which is a good thing. And listed 20 items on Ebay, a lot of them taking some effort to count out etc., and that's a good thing also.
I didn't go out at all today because I'm behind on laundry again so after taking a good bath and vacuuming the office here, I started a load of laundry.
