Enfin and Ultradad, I'm sorry you are both having a really hard time. But the great news is regardless of how horrible you feel and how close you came to drinking, you didn't. That is progress!

Ultradad, I've been there with injuries too. Is there a different activity you can do like aqua jog, bike, or yoga? Something to get the blood flowing? The good news is your body will heal itself much faster while you aren't drinking. I also found that taking a step back and knowing it's not a permanent thing helps me get through.

Enfin, you are absolutely worth it. I know it's been said before, but once you can love yourself, love from others will follow. Keep focusing on you and the little things you can do for yourself, like eating well and getting enough sleep. Again, you should be proud of yourself for not drinking. That in and of itself shows the love you have for yourself.
