Yes I made it through another day and I feel pretty good for the most part. As the 72nd hour passes I feel pretty happy about things becasue hour 72 always seems to be about the end of the most disturbing withdrawal symptoms for me. But I did have a bout of weird anxiety when I had to drive across town earlier today. I was not really tempted to quell it with beer though which is nice. Thank you all for so much love and support. Now as I look at it the real work begins and I'm hoping to be active on SR for a long,long time.

Good job! One day at a time is all we can do. I'm only on day 4 myself, and it was a rough one, but I made it through it too.

Mister7

Congrats Turtle, what made it a rough one for you?

Kellye C

Congratulations to you both! The time will add up as long as you stay in the today and don't use for just today. Then you get up tomorrow which will be today again and do the same thing. I'm proud of you both!

Hugs,
Kellye

Yes, that's the hardest few days way to go!

Turtle

What made it tough for me was talking about it for the first time with my husband. I had to admit things to him I didn't want to, like drinking a TON while I was away for work training, hiding alcohol in the house and just how bad my addiction is. He didn't really understand until yesterday. But I feel ok today,not so emotional. How are you doing today?

Mister7

Yeah thank you all. Turtle I know how it is, my last binge was while my wife and son were away. Explaining all of this to her was very, very hard when they got home. I made some promises that I must keep or I will be in very bad shape. Lucky for me she is understanding, but she also is pretty harsh. Its clear that I can't ever drink again. Not even 1. Of course 1 is never just 1 for us is it? But here I am on Day 4 now felling pretty damn good.

Glad your feeling better Mister 7, ( and Turtle too...), day 4 is a good day!
LOL, at "Of course 1 is never just 1 for us is it?"
