Day 1 for me, one of many, but I know it can be my last. Joining July class is one piece of my plan, reading and posting often. Another part was getting honest with myself AND my husband. I posted a thread a little over a week ago recognizing, at least in the anonymous internet fashion, what my daily withdrawal symptoms were looking like, but I didn't stop.
Yesterday (while drinking) I talked to my husband, said it all out loud, the shaking is back, the anxiety, the night sweats, the sneaking drinks, a new one, slight numbness in my hand, the bruising. All out loud. That was hard but it's done.
So there's no alcohol in the house. I'm going to get through some coffee this morning and find some alternate meetings, at least 3 or 4. The one group I went to before was not a fit so I gave it up. But I've read so often that it can be worthwhile to try others and I may see that it does fit for me so I'm going to try.
Anyway, Hi July Class!
