My First Day Sober in 2 Years...
My First Day Sober in 2 Years...
I started a new thread for this new beginning.
I tapered down and my last drink was last night. I went to both slimming world and my first AA meeting tonight. I'd like to say I left brimming with excitement but it's been a long weary overwhelming day (I worked also). And, I've got stomach ache, back ache and keep getting cramp in my legs. Even though I've drunk tons of water with vits and ate really well. So I'm grouchy lol
I was going to start my herbal sleep aid/anti depressant tonight but I'm just too scared to put anything else in my body right now. It doesn't feel well. So I'm gonna head off to bed with sleep hypnosis and wake to day 2.

JDM, that's great!
Give yourself a break, you're doing something that's hard and so good all at the same time. If you feel like you're doing too much back off a bit.
Put those days together one at a time!

Welcome Miim!!! Hoping you are well cared for there and that you come out caring for yourself!
I haven't checked yet, but did you start a thread introducing yourself? If not, I would recommend it! You'll get great support too!

Thanks everyone Sorry I ran away. I was feeling like a bear with a sore head! I tried to sleep but woke after a hour sweating I've just taken a bath and made a decaf milky coffee and going to try again. I drank mainly to make nighttime anxiety go away and to be able to sleep. (I was in abusive relationship which I've been out of now for 8 days! No contact - so I'm withdrawing from that as well lol) So I kinda knew night times would be tough. Not helpful that night one and I am awake after one hour but hey at least I'm sober! Will read the forum until my eyes close. Look forward to a more positive day 2! x
And, special ty to you Big you've whipped ma but into submission these last days. Yes, I didn't mind the meeting. Was a lil strange, I believe in God but it being kinda God based and this being an illness was all kinda surreal to me. Though, I was really really tired and zoned out at this point. I was kinda just going through the motions. I'm going to another meeting on Saturday, so hopefully I will be more alert and able to take in more of what is being said. TY again
