Managed to make it to day # 4. Depression and anxiety set in pretty hard today. I made a doctors appointment today but can't get in until next week. I contacted the local chapter for AA and asked about meeting locations and times. Plan on attending tomorrow. I feel uncomfortable and ashamed because of what I have done to my life. I hope I can bring myself to go. Thanks all for the encouraging words!
Zac- going to AA helped me, and I'm only on day 4. I felt ASHAMED AS HELL the first time I walked into a meeting, but was made to feel comfortable right off the bat. I couldn't drink my coffee without spilling it because of a mixture of nerves and the shakes. I'm new to these meetings, and am still kind of learning as I go, but the meeting did help in keeping me from grabbing a beer over the past 4 days.
Also, don't hesitate to see a doctor. I toughed it out for 3 days and felt like total sh*t. Saw my Doc yesterday evening, got put on Librium and Niacin, feeling a bit better. FINALLY got more than 1 hour of sleep.
Keep it up Zac. One day, one hour, one minute at a time.

Just returned from my AA meeting. Allot of good people there and they couldn't have been more helpful. I received allot of information and support from people who understood what I have been going through. I believe AA will work out just fine for me. I am grateful to SR and all of you who replied to my posts for the support and direction. I truly believe I have a good start to achieving total sobriety. Thank you!
I had a good life before, family, friends, job and good health. My years of drinking pushed them all away. It's not their fault. They tried to help. It's my fault! I would not accept the fact that my drinking was out of control and I was hurting myself and the people who loved me. I cared only about that next drink! Sitting hear alone with time moving ever so slowly, I now realize yes! I am an Alcoholic! My name is Zack!
I am glad you are here and I am praying for you.
The hours will get shorter.
