Three days sober. Haven't even had a single urge to drink because I've been too worried about solving urgent problems in my life. No time or money for drinking. I haven't had withdrawal too bad except inability to sleep and my body is aching like crazy. I guess I have anxiety but I think that is more due to circumstances in my life than lack of alcohol, though it definitely could be both.

Thank you all for your prior posts encouraging me that life could and will get better. I am starting to believe that because after only three days I am starting to feel like my old self again: motivated, thoughtful, rational, and kind. Not like my alcoholic self which is the opposite of all those things.

I know I need a long term recovery plan and I will work on that as soon as I deal with the crises that are imminently in my face right now.

Thanks for reading. Hope everyone is doing well.

Good job! Alcohol withdrawal definitely heightened my anxiety for a couple weeks.

Do you have people you can call with whom you can talk?
