bad thoughts

Almost done day one. It's been up and down. Sweats, racing heart. I have such unhappy thoughts about my marriage during low points. Like after I fix this drinking problem I need to take a long sober assessment of my situation. I hope it is just the detox making me think this way. I'm not going to drink. That much I do know.

Congrats on day one. Try to leave the future in the future for now and focus on staying sober one day at a time for now. You can do this!

For many of us just dealing with today is sometimes tough enough.
We just don’t drink today even if our A$$ falls off.
Each day will get easier if we let it and concentrate on not drinking instead of drinking.

BE WELL

You are absolutely doing the right thing. Eat when you get booze cravings. You won't gain weight initially. Enjoy your favs.

Just focus on getting through the day.

You will be able to deal with your relationship issues when you have some sobriety behind you.

I was amazed when I gained a year of sobriety how much healthier my wife had become........

Take it one day at a time - eat, sleep and don't future trip. Listen to peaceful music - read a book that brings some quiet peace. Occupy your racing brain.

I prayed for a long time just to shut off the noise in my head

You never have to have another day one!!
keep coming back

Totally agree... one day at a time. I couldn't cope with solving my relationship problems. So I drank and drank. And that made it worse. If I had been sober and stronger sooner, I think I might have been braver and done what was difficult for me - leave.
