Day 10
I'm still hanging in there. I've been staying busy. Productive and busy which is even better. I even went to the gym last night. Tonight is a small group bible study that I really enjoy.
Friday night I'm going to dinner with a couple of friends that don't drink. It's kind of crazy, but last night on my way home I was thinking about dinner Friday night. I will be getting home late because where we are going is an hour away. I almost panicked at the thought I would have to wait that long to be home to drink. I don't even drink now. It's crazy how our addicted brains work. So I quickly decided I wouldn't think about Friday.
I'm sleeping better now. My body is still working to get stronger each day, but the weakness is fading. My digestion track is still not working properly. I will leave that at that. Haha!
All in all I'm doing pretty good. One day at a time.

Great job on day 10!!! I am also on day 10 and I too have thoughts about planning around drinking but quickly remember I don't drink anymore!!!! I go to bed very early in these early stages to get me through the cravings. I realize 8:30 bedtime won't be forever just in my early stages of recovery. I was so ready to quit so I will do what it takes to stay sober!!! I finally realized that I can't just be a social drinker like I used to be and I know I will never have a healthy relationship with it again so I'm ready to surrender before I get to the point of no return!!!! Alcohol was destroying me and frankly I'm not ready to die!!!!
Hang in there!!!!!

Smart move to get educated and quit.
I still struggle with minor anxiety at almost 1 year clean.
Don't get bewildered.
There is no problem booze can't make worse.
Alcohol is poison. Don't believe the hype.

Good job on day 10! 
keep shutting the door on av and it will niggle at your brain less and less over time. Keep putting in the work in your recovery to keep yourself strong in this. You can do it! And you're doing awesome

Congrats on day 10 sinderos
I'm glad you're keeping busy... but maybe you need a back up plan for those inevitable times when you're not busy?
there are some good ideas here:
