Depressed. Lonely. Scared. Feel like nobody gives a sh... And neither do I so what's the point of this. I just want it to end.

Please call a hotline and talk with someone. You have value and you are loved!

Chin up. I'm in a pretty odd place in my own head right now, and am struggling myself, but thought you should know you're certainly not alone, and I promise drinking will not make anything better!

Oh. I did not mean to imply I'm suicidal. I'm not.

You are at what many describe as the worst part of quitting. Hang in there, try to distract yourself, you will start feeling better very soon. Do what ever you need to do to stay clean, best of wishes to you.

The first few days are pretty rough...but it gets better. Try the arcade here...it might help take your mind off things for a while

You are in the right spot. Stay here, gather your thoughts, get on the chat room. There is plenty to life besides the bottle. Let out your frustrations here.

That horrible feeling you are experiencing today is why you need to stay strong and get through it. You’re on day three and your mind is screaming for alcohol. Hang in there another day! Each day you get through this, gets you through this. I know the feeling well. Do something to distract yourself; take a hot bath, play some music, anything to get through the day. I spent hours playing card games on the computer! Honey, there’s nothing wrong with you, it’s just your body and mind going through withdrawal; I promise you that everything will look so much better tomorrow.

Definitely didn't get a suicidal feel from your post. Just know how you're feeling. :-) wish I had 3 days!

Hang in there; it's going to get better.

Post on here to vent. It'll help.

Day three is really hard. Really, really hard. This is the part of sobriety you simply survive. Keep going. It is going to get better.

I know how u feel cuz I have been there. But people including myself have been trying to encourage you since day 1. You were so pumped your 1st week.

Doesn't matter what others think or if they care . It's not their responsibility to make sure you are secure with yourself. You need to care enough to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and make a plan.

What's your plan Mrrryah? You wanna face each day feeling this way, then keep doing what you are doing. You want to change? Then start taking suggestions.

But feeling sorry for yourself is not gonna change a thing.

Sorry for being so blunt and by the way I do care.

I remember my day three as the worst of all. Just sweaty and irritating and general malaise. Things get much much better fast

Deeker... I got a new sponsor, started going through the steps this weekend, and went to a meeting yesterday. I'm trying, but Im finding it hard to get out of this funk because I have zero faith in myself and I really just expect to keep reaching lows and drinking over it and going through this cycle over and over again. I hate it. I hate my life I hate myself I really just hate it all and I'm hurting really bad right now. I'm sitting here bawling on my couch I just want to turn the world off. Even for a little while.

sugarbear1

finding faith in a power greater than you is happening now. we just can't see it until we get through it!!

You're doing well! Keep moving forward!!!!

Day three sucks. I'm on day one and not enjoying it. I wish I was on Day three. and we all give a sh!t.

Someone mentioned that it doesn't matter who cares, but I beg to differ. Humans are social creatures and need contact (and support) to function properly. Hopefully you're finding support in your daily life. SR is excellent for some of those topics that "normies" just don't and can't understand.

Anyway, day three is the pits!
I totally know what you mean about wanting it to be over, but it's a process that takes time. It gets better by the day. Be well

I agree early days are the worst! Your brain and body are undergoing some serious healing right now. Good for you, this is the beginning of a journey of learning to live without using alcohol to numb out. It will get better if you stick with it, and this forum exists because we all care about helping one another on this long and sometimes arduous journey. Stay strong!
