Hi, welcome to SR!! You will find lots of wonderful friends here! I know Day two is *very* hard!!! I'm on day 2 also and It feels like an uphill battle but it is not. It *will* get easier!! Our bodies are just trying to heal from everything we put it through. Sometimes the process takes a little longer than we desire but just hang in there. Each day will bring us a day closer to recovery.

Welcome to SoberRecovery,
I'm sorry the 2 of you are not feeling so great. But this too shall pass. Hope is right. It takes a little while for our bodies to heal. You are both in my prayers. Keep posting, and get to know us. There are a great bunch of people here who have been where you are. We know the pain you are in right now. Just hang on, it does get better!

(((Hope & Struggling)))
2dayz sending you congrats on your 2 days sober. It isn't easy, but the physical part should start to improve. The mental fight can be the tough part. After we start to feel better, our demons try to play games with us, start to tempt us. We have short memories it seems. I've went through withdrawals many times, got sober then would start drinking again and be right back at step one again. One time I threw up for 5 days and night straight, to turn around and pick up again. How insane is that? I'm sharing that to let you know how easily we can let our minds talk us into thinking a couple drinks are oK. They aren't, not for me and most likely not for you. I never want to experience that ever again. Good luck and I hope you both feel better soon. Sobriety is worth it. I will continue to have hope and some days I will struggle. I will never quit fighting and with that, I will win the battle of alcoholism no matter how many times I'm told I will fail.

Welcome Struggling and Hope,
It does get better. Just know that you only have to handle staying sober today and go from there. Don't even think past the 24 hours you are in. That is the key to staying sober for me. Don't think, don't drink!!
Glad you are both here and keep coming back! Jalyn
