Day 3 - Coming back to Earth.

Day 3 of Recovery. Finally slept last night, thank God. I know I am getting old because of how long recovery is taking in the last few relapses I have had.

I feel irritable but thank god I am sober and getting back to the real world. The last few days and nights have been Hell. I do not want to go through this ordeal ever again. I am going to attend AA meetings today and planning on conquering that initial urge to drink that leads to impulsive actions.

I am grateful for everyone here for your support and encouragement. I truly feel with each others help and God's we can beat this disease for ever.

M.S.

Thank you soberwolf for getting me through those first few days of recovery.

Wolves are my favorite animals because they work in Packs for one cause.

Well done, Ms.

You sound resigned to sobriety and very mature about it all today

Good on you.

Great job ms - I'm glad you slept better last night, I hope today is a good day for you. Keep it going. You can do it and like you said - you never have to go through it again.

Congrats on Day Three. Day three was the day I went to my first AA meeting too. I went to a women's meeting and cried all the way through it.

The first few weeks, my sleep was all over the place. I found out if I drank some hot chocolate, I could go right back to sleep.

Yeah Bimini,

I am going to a meeting at 230 and will try my hardest to do 90 meetings in 90 days!

First 2 days were hell for me!

Thank you.

Very proud of you MS. You'll grow stronger every day - and you never have to go through this again.

Hunter - well done on your 6 days. You're doing this.
