Sick and tired

Hello fellow members.
My name is Alan and I'm an alcoholic!
Diabetic for 34 years as well.
I'm at the botton of my barrel and as I look up, it looks like a tunnel and I can see light there. Problem is I think it's either a muzzle flash or a train.
Day 2 for me and I'm definitely squeelin' from the feelin' right now.
Thanks 4 havin' me.

Hi Alan, being sober really is so much better than life as a drunk. It takes a little effort during the early days but then it just becomes part of you. The rewards of the sober life never stop coming.

Wow, thank you everyone.
I've drank 2+ gallons of water so far today plus smoked way too many cigs.
I look forward to your wisdom, encouragement and support.

So you detox from drinking beer as well?
I guess alcohol is alcohol.
I'm feeling better tonite as my witching hours have passed.
Doesn't help that it's a weekend either, but I've made it through a Friday night and a Saturday night. Woo Hooo.
Thank you, I don't want to feel anything to do with alcohol again.
One strange thing I've noticed today is that I'm walking straighter than I'm used to.
