Made it through the night, thanks!
Hello friends! Well, I am happy to say I finally was able to throw out the rest of the vodka and go to bed last night. I did not sleep all that much, but I have Ativan from my MD, which should help me once again medically get through the next few days of quitting. And, I am seeing my counselor on Thursday.
So, now I just have to get through a day of work and figure out what my plan is tonight. I have a friend who I will be going for a powerwalk with before dinner. So, that should help.
I am willing to try to find a meeting...I have yet to try AA, and, clearly doing the Lone Ranger thing has been spotty at best. Hopefully, I can find a meeting tonight!
Thanks for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers!

Hurray for you!
I'm on day 5 and day 3 of getting up and walking. I think walking outside, watching the sun come up, watching the joy in my dog is making a big difference in the way I feel. We are getting ready to go right now, I'm just checking in to see what is going on with everyone.
I really love this site, I feel like I have a support group right at my finger tips. I just have to do the work - and getting in shape is going to be part of my work.
I'm so glad you stopped drinking last night. Keep posting, keep reading, keep not picking up.
Today is a new day, yesterday is gone forever, and tomorrow isn't here yet. I'm doing it one minute at a time, I can't get too ahead of myself, it's the easiest way for me right now.
Have a great morning, and again, I'm so glad you stopped drinking last night!

If Lone Ranger isn't working, you definately should do as you mentioned, pursue a support group. Alcohol is a nasty addiction. I personally am not involved with a formal program but I do have some long time friends that are aware of my situation that are hugely supportive and of course I try to stay in touch w-SR as much as I can. Lone Ranger doesn't really work for anything, for me anyways. Best wishes.
