Day Two
Hi---Day two----
Kind of a rough first night. I got shakier about 20 hours out and wicked chills. Turned on the electric blanket and rode the ride. And although I may not be on the top of my game today, I actually woke up without all the guilt from the night before.......nothing to feel bad about, what a conception.....I am tearing right now thinking about it.
Thanks all for your kind words....I feel stronger.

Good job, just keep fighting the urges (you're going to have a million of them today). I'm on Day 5 now and negative emotions come and go constantly (mostly from thinking about what I've done in the past), but the one thing that isn't there is the overwhelming guilt that I faced every day when I woke up after being drunk. Nothing you can do about the days behind you, just take care of this one!

Congrats and good to see you today VC. You can break that vicious cycle. Come and join us , and you to Iggy, in the class of January. Because of our incessant babbling we have been moved to Newcomers daily inspirations which is just under this topic.

Day 2 is great. Thanks for your post and telling us all what it feels like for you. This stuff gets into our systems in so many ways. I just want to shout "get out of my body" when I get an urge.

Ya know, I have not had any urges today. I got up late due to lack of sleep......made some food, hung out here......and drum roll plz......actually took a shower and got out of this dang house!!!!! Without a few drinks first! I am so happy with myself today I could cry! Tonight I am going bowling.......I am only on day 2 and can guarantee I will not want anything tonight. This, as short as it has been, is very empowering for me. And the best thing tonight? I won't be looking for cops in my rearview on the way home! I know that sounds lame but they are tough around here. I have been lucky these past few months......in fact, I faked a couple vehicle problems and had friends pick me up and bring me. How pathetic is that? This is nice...............thanks everyone.

Good going VC!
Keep it up,
It's so nice to wake up and face the day sober, isn't it?
You can actually go out and do something like bowling,
instead of just staying at home alone drinking!
Day 3 here, and loving it!
