Also it's Friday and I'm fighting the "wouldn't a nice glass (bottle) of Chardonnay be awesome right now" feelings. Waiting impatiently till 6 o'clock so I can haul ass to an AA meeting.

Keep pushing through, you and I know that wine will not help things!!

Roly, that's exactly how my day has been too! (I am also on day 5). I pretty much just had to tell that little voice inside my head, "YOU"RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!". And then I went to two meetings, lol. I hope your day/evening gets better!

LBrain

hang in there RP, hope to see you throughout the weekend telling us how great you are doing.
Hmmmm, Friday... ??? I guess that's an advantage I had over some? every day was Friday for me, so I treated every day the same when it came to not drinking.

I have found day five to always be my hump day after that I think it gates better slowly. So hang in there

Being grumpy beats being hung over. Things will get better. Hang in there. Best wishes!

Im on day one, i think after day 10 it should be a little easier. I keep thinking of booze as i type this...

Keep on Roly! Day 5 is the hardest! Grumpy is much better than severe anxiety attacks! Sounds like you're on the right track.

It is hard in the early days Roly - but it's worth it to get well again. It's normal to be anxious & grumpy - but it's all part of healing. Look forward to the great days ahead when you'll be free.

Roly, thanks for this post. I am also on day 5 and I have been grumpy for 5 days. When we're sober tomorrow, we'll be happy we didn't drink tonight. Take good care of yourself.

Just got back from my 2nd meeting of the evening. In the 2nd one (speakers meeting) I was sitting there thinking of Chardonnay! But I made it through and tomorrow is another day. Thanks everyone for the support, it helps a lot.

Today is my day five, cant believe ive got this far. Keep going i didnt think id get past day two, were getting there good luck!!

Interesting... Day 5 seems to be a common problem. It's also my witching hour day but once i get past it I'm usually fine.. Wonder why that is, have we just brainwashed ourselves or may be use it as an excuse to have a drink. More research needed me thinks!! Hope you managed to ride it out Roly!!
