Just putting this here for accountability.

I went to bed sober-ish which meant no nighttime heart poundings and no extreme cravings in the a.m. I don't have any alcohol in the house, so I think I'm good on that front.

I'm not feeling as anxious and depressed as I did yesterday morning after drinking a bottle of wine the night before, but I'm still feeling a little down.

one day at a time.

I hope you can string together some sober time. Your mood will pick up, but not if you stay on the subsituting-vodka-for-wine, benzos-for-anxiety merry go round.

Good luck.

It all starts with a Day 1!! We've all been there and had those same feelings!!

Congratulations on day one. Your body will adjust while the toxins clear your system.
Just try and remember your last drunk and realize you'll never have to go through the misery again.

I'm right there with you GMOTB! Day 2 for me and all I can say is life is better than death. Should be a no-brainer for most people but was very hard for all of us. Keep on trying..the effort IS worth it!
