At last I came to the realization that I simply cannot drink. So today is day 1, feeling quite relieved but, at the same time, like I have been hit with a train.

Don't think whats going to happen tomorrow, it will give you an anxiety, one day at the time! Trust me, soon you will feel so much better and trust me it's well worth it!!!

Admitting was a huge relief for me. The first week can be rough-the physical and the emotional canbe overwhelming. Be kind to yourself.

I agree with what Tina said above...don't think about tomorrow or it will create anxiety. That's what I'm trying today. Today is my day 2 and I checked myself into an outpatient program. Keep up the great work and the days will go by.
