Cool 1st night sober

Hey guys not sure who's listening out there but tonight I'm trying to put an end to my 5 years of drinking almost every night. I usually drink 9-12 beers per night. All within 3-4 hours and then I fall asleep and do it over and over again!

Well you couldn't have picked a better night to stop doing that to yourself.

Not a good morning

Hey guys thanks for all the support. Last night was no fun at all, did not go to bed till 4:30 am. Usually I'll be out by 11:30 p.m because I'm sloshed. I hope it gets better. I was literally bugging out.

Hi Miggy and welcome. It will get easier, the first few days are physically rough. Make sure you stay hydrated and drink sport drinks or gatorade.
A lot of people have trouble sleeping when they first quit drinking. It is normal and it should get easier.
Check out the 24 hours recovery connections. It is a thread where people commit not to drink or drug for the next 24 hours and a fun supportive way to hold each other accountable

You should also check out the Class of February 2015 for support and networking with your peers who quit at the same time
