Having a very hard time right now. Have not had a drink since Wednesday 02/19/2014. But the shakes and the accelerated heart rate have me freaking out. My brain just keeps saying - go have one pint of beer - That will make it all better. But I know it won't. If I drink I will lose my job and room. That's all I have left. I've lost my husband, kids, house, car, was involved in DUI last Monday. I'm screwed and I don't know how to stop drinking. Meetings work ok, my sponsor isn't very good. I need a new one. Thanks for letting me rant. I look forward to reading some other posts of success and what works for you all. As I find the tools I will share too.
