Same boat here Scared, day 4 for me, grew tired of getting drunk every night to go to sleep and drinking all day every day on weekends, sometimes waking up at 3 a.m. and drinking to go back to sleep. First three days of withdrawal was rough but I feel pretty darn good today, even went to the gym for the first time in 3 months. Last night I actually had dreams which was pretty cool because I haven't in three months. On my way to my 4th meeting in as many days. Crush, you can do this one day at a time. I too am nervous about my first weekend of sobriety.

I am a "functioning alcholic" I just bought a house on my own 1 year ago and I have a great job that I love but secretly I am a drunk. Everyone knows I drink but no one really knows that I drink myself to sleep every night. I need to change my pattern and cope with reality. This weekend will be my first weekend trying to stay sober. I have to be strong and find the courage to hang in there.
