Hello everyone! Today is day three of not drinking and I feel pretty good - no major withdrawal symptoms to speak of other than I feel a bit amped up and have some extra energy. Figured I'd post here just to get some extra support before I start the day. I'm taking it one day at a time - I CAN do this!!

Woohoo! Great job! Each day will get a little easier.

We can both do this. I'm on day four but it's about attempt fifteen since April so I probably was not coming at it from as tough a place as you. My body is already weaning off--it's my head that needs to come along.

I hope your Sober Sunday is lovely. I plan to have a very easy, lazy, self-indulgent day myself. Take care. Be sober later.

Thanks Josh! I'm glad I don't have any major withdrawal symptoms. I was drinking about two bottles of wine per day religiously for the past year or so. Before that, I was drinking one bottle of wine per day for a few years, so I was sure I'd experience some sort of withdrawal. I used to drink beer only, but I was putting on weight, so I switched to wine in order to help with weight loss. I lost the weight, but couldn't handle the wine. I starting needing more and more to achieve the same buzz and my actions were getting more and more out of control. That scares the hell out of me, so I figure I need to stop NOW! Thanks again!

15th attempt and you still are determined!!! Wow good job. Im on my second attempt. Relapsed on day 5. Now 2 days sober. But no good. Feel bored. Need something, not sure what.

Awesome!! You can do it!

Move! Walk. Drink coffee. Watch movies. Don't think.

Funny how we can recommend for others what we fail to do ourselves.

I feel okay today. Hubby just slipped in to tell me when a movie we want to see plays this afternoon. There's a plan.

Enjoy your sober day!

WTG FHB1 on day 3,

The one thing I was told in early recovery was to focus on my sobriety and all other things in life would be possible. So true...

Stick around, keep reading and posting...

Had a very active day at the beach and am now home safe and sober. There were a few white knuckle moments, especially when my wife and I ate lunch at a cafe that happened to serve wine and beer, but I made it! I almost didn't, but I did!
