Hanging on the wagon tight!

Day One: Enrolled in SoberRecovery Forum. I know the shakes, and irritibility will begin tonight, I'm already itchy. Today is my day off and I know better than to leave the house or I will start up. I finished my beer and cheap cinnamon whiskey binge, after being sober for 9 days. I am not going to beat myself up. I see a pattern of feeling better and suddenly almost without my knowledge, I am buying the first 2 tall boys and 2 whisky. DONE.

Welcome. It can be a rough ol' ride to the greener pastures, but they await!

Hang on!

Hi, New Chicken!

Once I had made that resolve to be over it once and for all, I took all the steps to make it so!

The physical withdrawal only lasts a few days to a week. You can get thru this and come out sober and better off.

Thank You and I did. I made it to work and then came home ate, slept, and slept some more. I slept for 10 minutes and it felt like 10 hours, thats when I got up.
