Made it through day one
Made it through day one
Yesterday sucked but not as bad as I thought it would be. I tried to quit once before and the physical symptoms were so severe I didn't make it through the first day. This time, I cut back for about 3 days before stopping and didn't have any tremors at all. Very jittery, kept having to walk and do things around the house. Had a couple of emotional temper tantrums, found a hidden bottle as temptation. (That was a difficult test!) I managed to spend most of the day focusing on work. I work from home so my employers and co-workers are not privy to the train wreck that I was. The extra focus actually increased my productivity! I got very little sleep last night. I'm having a harder time focusing today. Just clocked out for a bit to re-group and check in here.
Check in here all ya want!!! I remember the early days well!! Some days intellect was of no use what so ever, just had to grab my a$$ with both hands and HANG ON. There IS something on the other side, and it IS worth all the early struggling we go through.
Hang in there, Ron

Thank you everyone for your support. It really means a lot. I keep re-reading my reasons for quitting. I'm setting a lot of short term personal rewards to prove to myself how much better life can be. Planning a picnic with my loved ones this Sunday. Very different from the bottle of Jack I lived in last Sunday.
Congratulations Hugger on day 1,
enjoy your picnic with the loved ones Sunday...
you can do this one day at a time and it's so worth it.
though no-one can go back and make a new start,
anyone can start from now and make a new ending.
