3rd day Sober!
I am an alcoholic.
Hi there, I am new here and to recovery. I am feeling pretty bad right now. I cant get to a meeting as my husband is at a bar and I have to be with my children.
My head hurts, I am shaking and I have chills. Normal?? I am thinking it is. Usually 2 days is as long as I go without a drink.
I went to my first meeting last night and everything was great I got a book and met some great people. I thought this might not be so bad after all. Then tonight (5:00 somewhere) hit and I am feeling pretty jonesy. I got on the phone with a girl I met last night and she gave me this site. I hope to get to know all of you and give as well as get support.
Bring it on Folks!
BTW i am a spiritual person I do have a HIgher Power and am talking to my God (as I perceive him). I have put my disease in His hands, but I know I have to work at it as well.

Hi and Welcome,
I am so glad you found us here at SR. There is lots of support and information for you here. And, yes, I would say shakey and chills are pretty normal feelings for what you are going through. Also, the up and down mood changes seem to be part of the process.
You can do this and I hope you keep posting.
