It was my Day 2 today as well. To fill up my evening, I wove a bracelet and Netflixed. I had a lucky night where the kids were home to eat dinner. It felt great to sit down with them and not feel crummy and tired from drinking the night before.
On to day 3!

Today I won’t drink.

Hi 
I would like to join too please! I will admit that I’ve joined a couple of classes in the past and the accountability really helped, but I always fell back into my old rut. The longest I made it was 21 days.
Looking forward to being part of the group!

I’m in a massive funk. Normally when I stop drinking I feel great, all positive and fluffy. The last two days I’ve felt like I’m about to burst into tears. My brain is spinning faster and faster and is full of negative thoughts.
I feel I need to pause my life and get off the carousel for about 6 months. Something which simply can’t happen.
I’m burned out, jaded and stressed with my life. I’m sure I’ll snap out of this but I have no idea where this mood has came from. I guess it’s just an accumulation of years of low level stress.

Hope all goes well Erattic
Midton, I've said it to a few people this week - I think the more years we drink, the more withdrawal affects our mental health, as well as our physical.
The good news is it won't last forever. Hope you feel better soon

Day 3. Erratic sleep. Decent appetite. This is one of my easier detoxes. I may be able to leave the house today. My hands were shaking so bad on day 1, I couldn't unlock my door to go out. A sign I should stay in a while

Hi all! Waking up to Day 3. Slept well last night and finally starting to feel human again. I'm starting to plan for the 4th of July holiday Thursday and my nieces wedding Saturday. I know its ODAAT but I want to have a plan and a backup plan because I know my cravings will hit hard starting tomorrow. Today will be fine. Starting tomorrow and all through the rest of the week will be hard.
My first step is to commit to all of you that I will not drink. Not today, or the rest of the week. I will play it through to not being able to stop, to the horrible sleep, to the hangover where anxiety and depression paralyze my ability to function. Bleh. Hangovers are the worst.
When cravings hit I will commit to coming here and posting about them. I also plan to buy some chocolate today. That will help ease the cravings. Cravings do pass. A good reminder for all.of us!
Take care all

Home after work. Day done and good riddance to it.
I almost drank. During my last hour at work I convinced myself to go and buy a bottle of wine. Mentally it was a done deal. However when I got home, I live literally a three second walk from my business, I realized I had to cook (strangely I eat healthily) and by the time I made my food the craving was manageable.
Now I’m off to bed happy no to have drank but with the terrible realization of how bad I am and how far into the pit I’ve sank. When I first joined here my first attempt at sobriety was over 100 days. The next few times after that were of similar length. It was almost easy once my mindset was right. Gradually though I am now at the stage where even a week is so, so , so hard.
What lessons did I learn today? I’m going to need them for tomorrow I presume.
