One more day makes 7
Today has been a bad one..am working on my 7day sober. Anxiety, still shaky and depression has set in.I would say I really wanted to drink today but really that would not define it out of any other day for me..God I hope this gets better soon..I feel like I landed back on my ass today. Hardest thing I have ever done in my life by far...

Stick with it royalbella 
What i did was think about what a relief it will be to wake in the morning sober without a hangover
and how horrid it would feel to be hungover , throw up , pass out , get the sweats , having to start over again .. and so on
Also i thought to myself if i gave up and stayed gave up it would get me through as swiftly as possible to my sober happy life i aspired to have .
Bestwishes, m

Please know that we understand.
Stopping drinking and beginning recovery was, by far, the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. You can get through this.
Congratulations on 7 days sober!

Hi royalbella. Be proud of yourself for those 7 hard earned days. We all know how challenging it is. We promise it will get easier - and thankfully you never have to go back there again.
I went through many phases as I began to heal. Don't be discouraged if you aren't feeling great quite yet. We've beaten ourselves up badly & need chance to recuperate. You will get there.

I could relate to thinking the night sweats were related to menopause ....I still sleep with my window open and a fan running but it is much better! Friday nights are a bugger. They get easier but still a bugger. Stay strong. I ALWAYS am grateful Saturday morning that I didn't give in. The rest of my weekend runs much better. It is just the Friday to get through. You can do this!!

I feel you and also feel like this is BY FAR the hardest thing I've ever done. But I have to think, because of that, it is going to be the most rewarding thing as well.
You can do it and you are never, ever alone.
When I feel crazy and anxious and lonely and full of self-pity I go to a meeting or listen to one of the AA tapes. Takes me out of it and I always learn something that reminds me I'm heading in the right direction.
God has your back and God is HUGE.
