Happy birthday! What a great day to start your recovery. I've still got booze in but I'm not touching it. I will ask hubby to get rid of it later (part of me wants some in I case symptoms get bad/dr doesn't give me meds).

Dee74

Be totally honest with your Dr needinghelp - that way you can get exactly what you need.

Dump it...lol listen to this drunk giving instructions

Needinghelp82

I will do. He knows I'm concerned about it but I think he will be surprised how bad it's got. I broke down and told hubby's mum though - first time I've admitted it to someone other than hubby.

I know I should. I will do after the docs xxx

Survived day 2 - had some wicked cool dreams last night. I've slept so well the past two nights (but I also am prescribed anxiety medication that I've actually started taking so that may be helping) but I am so sore and so ill (as in angry ill) this morning.

<--- me today

Day 3. My brain isn't working quite right this morning. Sleep hasn't come easy the past few days.

Good morning May class! Day 11 here and still fighting cravings. I think my physical symptoms are all but gone except for an occasional headache. I've just got to keep dealing with that tricksy AV.

btw, in the past I always caved by Day 10 so this is HUGE for me that I'm on day 11!

Oh, and welcome all you newcomers.

Checking in with everyone! I'm one week into sobriety and so far I feel I'm handling things well. I had to end a relationship that's been going on for about six months as I knew I wasn't feeling good about it and in danger of leading the quite lovely person in question on. That's been difficult, but I'm glad I did it, face to face and honestly. I'm also working a lot at the minute and extremely busy so that's distracting me. Well done everyone and keep strong!

Had a great morning at the sea side with my two border terriers and my elderly mom and dad. Silloth is a sleepy almost forgotten seaside town in north Cumbria. The sun was shining and it was warm. Fish and chips from one of the best F&C shops I have ever found - literally, then home and a nap for an hour.

If you had told me I would be taking naps in the afternoon not long agao I would have laughed at you..

Doing pretty well here, despite the odd pang of withdrawal and weird head stuff!

What a roller coaster. I feel great one minute and sick the next. Hanging in there. I remember day 3 being tough last time.

Went with my beautiful daughter this morning to take her drivers test and she now has a license to drive. Just hoping she stays off the sidewalks. Anyway....excuse the side track....some of my friends start congratulating me on my new designated driver. And I can't help but think, how pathetic have I become that people would even go there?

Hello.

Went to rehab 2 years ago. Life improved...last 5 or 6 months I can see old patterns emerging...hiding drinking...scary. Family member found me drunk incoherent a couple days ago...Reaffirmed with tools I learned. Made it through 2 days now. 1 on my own...today SR helped keep me grounded and sober.

Thanks for the support today. Planning on going back to old aa group.
