Day 3...can't believe I made it through day 2
Hi everyone,
I am sitting her so very grateful for not drinking yesterday. I woke up feeling strong but then by the afternoon, I was lonely and that is a huge trigger for me. I was feeling sorry for myself - both my parents are gone and I lost my brother two years ago. I have no immediate family here, but my in laws are fantastic and I know I can call or visit anyone at anytime, but didn't have the ambition to do so. I just felt like wallowing in self pity.
I got p.o.'d at hubby for living his life - he went to help his brother then painted a room (that I wanted him to) when he got home. I felt so alone and isolated that my skin was crawling.
I got myself out of the house - took my dog for a walk and felt so much better after that.
WHEW it was sooooooooooooo close,
So I am very happy to say DAY THREE!!!!!!!!! I haven't made it past day 17 in over two years so I know how fragile these early days are.
Thank you for reading, didn't think I would go on so long.

Way to go Itsmytime. I also found the first few days the hardest.
You can always come on here and post if you get lonely.
I personally prefer that to face to face contact but I am a bit of a loner anyways.
Keep at it. On to day 4.

i am new to this web site and i think it is awesome i can't always make it to a meeting and this way i still can keep in contact and have dialogue with other addicts.
And a side note i don't really know what i am doing yet on this web site but i'm getting the hang of it so just stay patient with me please.

Day 3 for me too!
After going through a really tough eight months I managed to stop for 18 months. I've since relapsed three times over the last six months. After this last time I've finally realized that it's going to be a life-long battle and I need to accept the fact that I can never drink again.
I've been lurking around here for the last few days. This seems like a wonderful place for people like me and I really wish I would have found it sooner. I plan to feel my way around and join the community for the long haul.
I'm pretty shocked to learn how many other people share some of my alcohol related behaviors.
