changer

so, i'm on day four. i've been to a meeting every night so far, and been on here mulitple times a day...as often as i need to keep me focused on this.
sleep has been hit or miss, emotions all over the place, and i'm achy and sore for some reason. BUT, i'm doing ok. my brother invited me out for a sober meal tonight, but it conflicts with a meeting i had planned on going to, so i think i'll be turning down his offer. i feel like i need to stay plugged in to the meetings, or risk 'forgetting' how dangerous it is for me to drink.
got a bit of a talking to at work today- surprise! they did actually notice i was a drunk! all in all it feels like such a relief to come clean and get clean.
just want to thank everyone here for all their posts...these forums are a lifeline for me.

I'd say you are doing more than OK....And what you describe is normal for 4 days sober....It gets better everyday...So stay plugged in here and at meetings...Meet people...Call people...Ask for help....You're making not drinking your priority...And right now that's exactly what you should be doing. I'm glad you still have the job...I wasn't so lucky...And it is a relief to come clean...Good for you....Keep at it!

I agree - it was a huge relief to come clean for me, too. I was so tired of hiding it and trying to deceive everyone. Apparently my co-workers were on to me, also - despite my mouthwash/mints/eyedrops/perfume, etc. I thought I was so clever, but it's our behavior that gives us away.

Glad you are doing well - proud of you.
