Day 10 - First time quitting
When I left detox I was given a list of meetings and local resources. To tell you the truth, I was freaked out and very nervous to attend. Right before I left, a worker told me there were a lot of online support resources to aid in recovery - this was the best advice I could ever receive. I have read many similar stories like mine, and they have given the courage continue living in sobriety.
The physical withdrawal is over and done with. Right now I feel like most of my problems are psychological. I found it very hard to get up this morning because it takes so much time for me to fall asleep. Nights are the worst for my anxiety since that is when I started drinking (after work, rough day-everyday). I have had a few instances where I thought "one beer" would be okay, but quickly distracted my thoughts from it.
It seems like it's going to be a long road, but I know today I will not drink. I'm hopeful, and taking it one day at a time.
Thanks again for this forum.
