2.5 days sober and all I can think about today is drinking. I get off in 3 hours and want to get something to drink so bad. I can't stand the idea of drinking nothing but tea and water and chain smoking cigarettes and trying to think of something else until I finally fall asleep.

Try and be strong. I think I'm right in saying there's a scheduled chat on this site tonight. Try and fight the urge and then come to chat. It's too late for me (currently 8.50 pm here in the UK) but I'm sure you'll get plenty of support.
Do your best

I learned early on recovery that I needed
and wanted to remain sober. Sober more
than anything because I was afraid of losing
my little family. My marriage and my 2 lovely
adorable little ones.
Family did an intervention on me where
I was picked up by the authorities and
taking to a rehab hospital. I remained
there for 28 days with a 6 week aftercare
tact on to complete my rehab program.
From there I was on my own. It was I
who did everything I possibly could do
to the best of my ability and went that
extra mile to remain sober while going
thru many of lifes changes.
I was the only one in my little family
with an addiction and it was I who only
worked a recovery program. This made
it difficult with understanding and communication
within the family and thus felt alone.
I went to a many meetings each day for
an hour, surrounding myself with the
fellowship of recovery and many who
understood me and I them. We all had
the same problem of addiction in common
and all learning a program as our solution
to remain sober a day at a time.
If I didn't understand something whether
in recovery or life, all I had to do was ask
for help, understanding. Every single member
who paved the path of me to follow became
instrumental in helping me remain sober
myself for 24 yrs now.
Never do you or I or any member who
is beginning their journey in recovery has
to walk this path ever alone.
You are NEVER ALONE.

Changing my routine in the evening really helped me, Josh.
Sitting in front of the TV was fine for drinking me, but it was torture for sober me.
there are some great ideas for doing things here:
