Going through withdrawals all weekend and having to stare at 200 empty cans to remind me of my relapse is excruciating. Although, it's kind of embarrassing being in the elevator with other tenants and I am carrying a giant trash bag that makes the sound of clunking cans haha

Day 7
I've made it a week and am feeling better. It was so nice to wake up and go to work without a hangover! My sleep is improving. But if I could just sleep for a couple of days straight I would! It really helps to log on here and read all of your posts.

Thanks Dee.
It's day 8. About to take my acamprosate and antabuse. Lots of AV yesterday but the antabuse helps. Wish the acamprosate would do more to eliminate cravings. But maybe it just takes time.
Shoulder really sore from sleeping on a bench during a bender and I keep sleeping on it despite my best efforts. Will probably need physio. Feet still blistered from wandering around on a bender. But good reminders not to drink.

Morning all
How are you Kitten? Have you read Quit like a woman?
WL - definitely been there and done that with the recycled wine bottles. Congrats on day 4
Clarity -congrats on 1 week
Erratic - how are you today?
Day 3. Surprisingly I slept really well although have woken with a banging headache and sore neck. Ah well at least it's not a hangover. Just the normal day 3 stuff. I could go back to bed but have to work.
Hope everyone has a good day.x

The last 2 books I bought weren’t. The Recovering is mostly the history of AA. Annie Grace? Same old, same old. The only thing I enjoyed in that book was that she knew that dopamine causes cravings, not pleasure. So at least she’s somewhat up to date on research.

Day 16, but bored out of my skull!
been working, going to the gym, cooking etc.
I'm absolutely terrified of outside right now....my doctor scared me. It's so icy right now and if I fall, I could hit my head and bleed because of my meds. I even went and bought brand new boots, but I'm still slipping everywhere
anyways, sober b

Hi all. Here on day 1, again.
I was trying as aa... but I cannot for the life of me make myself get a sponsor or give my phone number to random people.
I have no idea what else to try. Super emotional today, I just want this to stop.

Getting a sponsor is optional honey, and why anyone asked you to give out your phone number is questionable for sure. 
s
The idea is that members give you their number. And you call them. I am sorry that this is getting mixed up these days. xxx
Here for you honey, always. s ❤️
