Keep it up! If the withdrawals get to bad, consider medical help.

Lostconfused you can do it! Today is day 31 for me. I have had to put a significant amount of effort into staying sober. More than I ever thought I would. Overall it has been a good month though with just one or two bumps in the road.

Today a bump came in the form of $750 in car repairs. That sucks. I had to do some deep thinking because my natural reaction is to get drunk and drowned it all out. The whole money thing just sucks. I ended up going to a meeting.

I know I'm better off now being sober. The car stuff still sucks but at least I don't have to feel bad about drinking over it.

You can do this. Get a plan together and keep trying. It has taken me a long time to learn that its the first drink that get me in trouble. Take care!

Back at it Buddy, it's no biggie. All we can do is keep trying until it sticks.

So what are you planing to do different this time to stay sober?

Have my alarm set for 6am...Going to the gym, which thank god I never lost that passion even while drinking. Straight from there going to a meeting at 9 am. I now realize, I have to see past the withdrawals. Just as scary as withdrawing is, drinking a bottle of wine or any alcohol should be just as scary.
