This is my second time around. It only lasted 3 months the first time and continued for over a year. This is day 2. I left my "co-alcoholic" abusive husband on Thursday after telling him I wanted to stop and he bought me 2 shots to celebrate?? I'm having a tough time. I really want to drink. I am staying with my family who is very supportive and refuse to let me leave alone. I need someone to relate to my feelings.

Welcome Stessy I can relate to the Day 2 feelings but you can come out the other side and be sober.

You've made two strong decisions already so I know you can do this.

Hi Stessy!
Day 2 and 3 have always been hard for me. And I sympathize....you just left your partner, etc. Its wonderful you have the support of your family. Keep posting here...this site is full of support.
Blessings!

Stressy, you've made a huge commitment to sobriety by packing up and leaving, which shows that you have a lot of strength and determination. You have a lot of support from those around you, but getting sober is still lonely business, especially if your loved ones have never struggled with addiction. (That's been my experience anyway!) This is the time when all those thoughts and feelings that you've been pushing back with a drink will surface. It's uncomfortable, but it will get easier if you hang in there. I'm right there with you on day three (not for the first time!). You're not alone. Come on, we can do this.

Thank you. I'm praying I will rise out of these ashes! I start counseling next week before work and meetings after work. You all are a great encouragement! My husband keeps calling our kids trying to talk to me. He claims he's sorry and wants to stop too. I don't believe it and need to be strong, he's very manipulative. Three kids and they are my motivation. Very strong and understanding. They are the ones that asked me to leave and opened my eyes. Angels sent from heaven.
