Day 2 is hard
 

Of course I made it through Day 2 and thought how proud of myself I was, I should reward myself with something to drink. Didn't go to the liquor store though so I conquered that battle. Got into a fight with husband because he asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday and I said I wanted a bottle of wine. Of course, wanting it and having it are 2 different things but really, I shouldn't have responded that way. Anyways, still hanging on...by a thread but I'm here.

I'm glad you're getting through Day 2!

Congratulations on making it through day 2! You should try to reward yourself with something positive like a manicure and pedicure, nice soak in the tub, buy a new book to read or a new CD to listen to. They will help you feel good about yourself, and will last a lot longer.

The first few days are rough. Hang in there. It will get better. :grouphug:

Thanks
 

I actually did have a soak in the tub, it helped. The very cool thing about this message board is that nobody is surprised about things like "liquor store mental battles". Something that I feel like noone in my real life would understand. Thanks for the support.

Welcome to SR....it has truly changed my life. Coming here has taught me I'm not alone....huge, for me.

l always thought that day 2 was the worse day.
Pure horror.
Make it through day 2 and you are well on your way !
The longest journey starts with the first step !
Wish u well.

First couple of days are the hardest. Keep it up. The people in my life didn't understand the alchol problem. I was glad when I found this site. Lots of similar stories and feelings. Keep reading and posting.

Good for you day 2, keep it goin, on day 10, and just gettin the hang of this sobriety,
or so i think!, each persons different in times and days which are hardest to get through
i think, i hope am not wrong in sayin when you get through a real hard night of pangs
of temptation... Next morn you wake up real strong with renewed confidence you can
stay the course... This is what im findin anyhow.:c031:

Liquor store mental battles...
shows who's stronger because you hun, are winning the war right now!
Have a great day 3 & keep coming back :)

How are you doing today? Hopefully day 3 went well for you.

Still here
 

I did lose my temper on my son but I did not drink so that is the positive!

Glad to see you are still with us! :)

Congrats on day 3 :)
Keep an even temper can be difficult in the early days, but things will even out :)

Keep the faith :)
