Almost 3 days!!
Hi everyone,
I just feel the need to share with others what is going on because I dont really have anyone else to talk to right now. Well I do but they dont truly understnad what I am going through. I am having clearer thoughts but am still feeling like the last three days have been kind of a blurr....I couldn't even remember when I had my last beer....I think it was monday...well 2 beers anyways....but I feel like I have lost my mind and memory and am walking around in a daze....My good friend is in town right now and I have been avoiding her because all we used to do was drink together....I am almost 30 and so is my best friend and she still likes to go out and get drunk whenever she can....I told her I might have an ulcer so I cant drink but I have been avoiding her since...I am not really sure why.....but anyways...I guess it just feels better to share things....I should probably go to AA tonight. Hopefully my mind goes back to normal....or maybe all the beer destroyed too many brain cells....not sure, guess only time will tell. 15 years of heavy drinking could probably do that...oh well guess there is no better time than the present to try and make a positive change! Hope everyone is having a great day!

Bravo -- 3 days is a start!
You have to remember what is most important -- your sobriety vs. hanging with friends. I applaud your decision to choose yourself, your health and your sobriety over anything else. For me, without sobriety I have nothing.
As far as your mind -- you may still be in a fog, alcohol will do that, and it may take a while to clear up. Yes, go to an AA meeting, or as many as possible. Identify yourself as a newcomer, take a 24 hour chip, they will understand your fog and help you work through it...
Great job!

Big Ups daisy12326! I pretty sure you still have plenty of brain cells left but it does take awhile before they come out of hiding once the storm is over 
It will get better and positive change is the way it happens.

Thanks guys!...I didn't go to AA tonight...too tired...but things seem a little better tonight...kind of down though...not feeling too motivated to do much of anything...hopefully that changes soon...the pounds are starting to pack on!! with all the eating I've been doing!...anyways I'm happy to say I made it through another day..sober..not to say the thought of a beer doesn't go through my mind about 100 times a day...hopefully that changes soon too...every time I drive past a casino or a liquor store it's all I think about. Does it get any easier? Well I guess not giving in today hopefully will give me strength to not give in tommorrow...but I'll worry about that tommorrow. Anyways, thanks for the support! Member

I'm curious -- were you ever "too tired" to go to a bar?
Get to an AA meeting -- the next one you can possibly go to. When you feel too tired or just don't feel like going, that's when you need it most.
Get into action, or those drinking thoughts will have their way with you...
