I just got home from a decent but stressful day. I am finishing up a 13 hour shift. I drank wayyyy tooo much coffee and energy drinks. What do you do when the walls start closing in?

Day 23. dont know how I will make it tommorrow, but tonight I didnt go out when my drinking buddies called me.....

Hi,

Just breathe and take it easy. Listen to some mellow music and try to relax, play with a pet, go for a walk. Good for you in making the choice to stay home.

Hi SF,

Stay in today as best you can. I know it's difficult. I'm glad you're not going out with your friends tonight.
You may wish to drink hydrating fluids as opposed to so much caffeine right now - it's probably a wiser choice, especially in early sobriety.
You can do this. Don't drink today.
