You can do this. You can. You have made it 27 days and you can make 27 more, then 27 more, then more. You have not taken a step back if you have not taken a drink. This is all forward momentum--even the tough stuff!

Do NOT give up on yourself,Ruby--you hear me?

I would make and appointment and tell your doctor exactly what you are going through and see if he or she has any suggestions. I would also suggest eating as absolutely healthfully as you possibly can. Read the article on Alcoholism and nutrition suggested by Sugarbear--there's some great info there.

I think depression and anxiety during new sobriety seems to be normal for most people--and know that if you do take that drink, you will feel even worse after the effects of the alcohol wear off.

Stay strong. Be fierce! Have faith
