I'll be glad when I'm through with the antibiotics. I always feel sick to my stomach when I take them. And they may be causing the mood change. I've been depressed and have had no motivation to do anything today. I've just been miserable today. But good thing that it's only one day at a time......

I am on day three again for the I don't know how many times over the last few years. This time I'm trying to do things right. I have gone to an AA meeting every day and plan on continuing. I have not one but two sponsors that I asked for right away. I call both women each day, even though the urge to drink is so strong, it is the last thing I want to do.
I am am feeling so hurt, so broken, so guilty and that urge to drink is so strong. I know I just can't take this anymore. I surrender.

Day 13. Still feel weak and tired. I seem to need 10 hours sleep to feel human. I want this feeling to go away!!! Planning to stay clean and sober for today anyway.
I'm too tired to go and look for an appropriate emoticon lol!

Hi everyone,
Hope it's OK if I join this thread. Yesterday was my first day without a drink for over 3 months, so I guess I'm into day 2.
It's really encouraging to read all the posts in this thread and not feel alone. Thanks guys.

Today is the Day!
I posted in another thread, but want to post here to. I didn't plan to really quit today, but last night I got into an argument with my son. I have a great 24 year old son that is still at home because he is helping with the family business.
I can't even remember what the argument was about (I think politics). It was short because I was going to bed. But the last thing he said to me was "you're drunk". That did it. I have to really try today. I didn't plan it, I'm not sure I can do it, but I really have to this time. Wish me luck on this day 1!

Day 4. Going to a noon meeting before I go to work at 2:00PM.
Sleep is horrible and I have the night sweats but I'm going to go to that meeting.
Take good care of yourself today coffeeboy. I know you can get through
today without a drink. I'll think of you.

CoffeeBoy....
Glad you are joing us here
It's a wise move to check with your doctor
before abruptly quitting. Be both safe and sober.
We do have information in our Alcoholism Forum

Yes! you too can win over alcohol

To everyone who is just joining us, you can do it.
At one point, I couldn't even get 1 day without drinking. But today I am on my 13th day sober and it amazes me. I'm almost 2 weeks without drinking. I never thought I could do it but I am making it.
I'm almost a graduate of this thread. Thanks for the company while I was here.
Big hugs to all my SR family!

Ksplash, hang in there. I was very close yesterday to using again, I was just so depressed. I came on SR first, put myself in a hot bath until it was too late to get anything I shouldn't, watched telly, coloured in some of my daughters books, read Stephen King.
Today, one hour at a time. Feeling bad, feeling good, feeling inbetween, all excuses to use, right? Or is that just me? Day 14 and in danger of becoming a graduate with Hope!
