We've all been there, sunshine. I cried for an hour yesterday, then drew a hot bath with lots of bubbles and candle light. Sipped hot tea while in there. I stayed in there until my fingers were pruny, then did what Crysalis said and took a sleep medication in bed. The cravings reduced while in the hot bath, and the medication had me to sleep within 30 mins.

We're all so fragile in the early days of sobriety. Do everything you can to nurture yourself during that time. The wine felt good while it was there, but it was never enough. And I always woke up with anxiety and a tremendous loss of self-respect. I promise you can do this!
