Day 3 update
Day 3 is full fledged and great! I had a great sleep. My mind feels strong and anxiety free. My aches feel better. Everything is going great at this very moment.
And that's what scares me. The better I start feeling the more cocky I get that I can get drunk tonight no problem..my AV builds with every sober moment.
I am expecting a call from a friend tonight and I already know what he's going to want to do. Get hammered and hang out...We usually end up doing this at least once during the weekend...I really want to tell him that tonight is not a good night...But I also want to say yes come over and lets hang out BUT I'm not drinking sorry! I dont know.

Great job on day 3! You are absolutely in the right to cancel with your friend too, you already know that they will want to try and talk you into drinking....that's exactly why they are coming over. Don't derail the solid work you've done.
Just short of 3 months alcohol free. I felt like hell on day 3. My bottom was a fifth of whiskey and a vertigo attack.
Terrifying.
I don't think you are done withdrawing yet.
Give it a few more days and the cravings will kick in.
Careful of the binge cycle. Google kindle alcohol.

I went through that cycle too. For me things just kept getting worse. The regrets, then the hangovers, then the amount of drinking, then things really got out of control and I am left with a mountain of mess to clean up and the trust of many to restore. It was progressive. I wish I would have stopped previously and not had to endure as much suffering. It is also very hard on the body to cycle like that I feel. I am avoiding certain friends and a lot of social situations right now. Maybe that's an idea for the short term. Also trying to reconnect with those who were not drinking buddies.
Great job on day 3, scared! I can 100% relate to what you wrote here. I'm always so determined for the first few days so they're not really a challenge and then usually around days 5-6 I start to forget how miserable I felt, how much I disliked myself for drinking.
