After spending ten weeks without alcohol I then spent almost a week drinking where I consumed alcohol every day. I had to go on a trip to another city (which stresses me out every time I do it) and drank to make me feel less stressed. It just made me worse. Not drinking today – hopefully.

I have a very low sex drive since stopping drinking. Is this normal?

I haven’t had any erections for a while and, as if by means of a test, I’ve had a very attractive young woman staying in my bed recently and I have not touched her. No desire.

Weekends always feels the hardest. Or it did a while back. Now it seems like just another day. I would usually go to a bar on a Friday night and have a lot to drink. Now I just go home and either read or do something productive.

Doing productive things all day today plus I have time, energy and inclination to do things that i wouldn’t normally do.

I think by about month three I should start to feel much more focussed and also have a lot more energy.
