3 trys a charm
This is my 3rd attempt to gaining the life I envision for myself. No more missing work, losing friends, losing money, bruises or tears.
I have found someone I want to be with, and although i'm ultimately getting sober for me he's a reason as well. Because when I look out the window to a beautiful fall day, I know I want to make a life with that person.
This is day two and I feel terrible but i'm going to make it to a meeting today and then hopefully again tonight. And then....I'm going to have to call my manager and try and get my job back. eek.
Thanks
JK

Glad you're trying again to kick this nasty habit and turn your life around.

Congratulations on your two days - that's huge and you should be proud of yourself. So sorry you're feeling lousy, I know exactly what that's like. Please take care of yourself over the next few days as you recover...drink plenty of water, get enough rest, and spend as much time here on SR and at meetings as you can. And have some sweets on hand - one of my old sponsors recommended keeping a bag of chocolate chips in the freezer and grabbing a few if a craving hit or if I just wanted to feel a little better from the endorphins chocolate generates.
Let us know how it goes...we're with you 100%!

End of the day.... made it! Right now the only real problem i'm having is my face which is almost like leather, anyone experience that? Bright red and very dry, and then the uncomfortable uneasiness of the days to come.

If you're not doing a medically supervised detox, you might want to invest in a box or two of Celestial Seasons Sleepytime Extra tea. It has all kinds of calming herbs that help you relax/sleep. Hang in there!
