I do, and your reaction to AA sounds like a panic response. Remember, the people there have been in your shoes
Good luck with another meeting.(((DreamBig)))
Good luck to everybody!

God day 3 suck! I want a drink so bad right now. It would be so easy. No one is home for another hour. I could drive to the convenience store 3 mins away. Must.....resist.
Plus I'm in such a foul mood. I feel like a ticking time bomb about to explode, so it's good no one is around.
Guess I'll eat my dinner and browse the site for the next hour.

welcome gincup and zini
hang in there ttqttfg - get all the support you can - make the outcome different
DreamBig - I'm sorry for your troubles...I've been down to my last 7 dollars too.
Looking back I wish I would have done things differently tho....I spent a lot of time being scared and being sad when I should have hit the ground running and used all the opportunities I had to start getting things back together.
Have you any avenues for assistance now?

Day 4......the day after
Made it thru last night. Day 3 is always a big hurdle. Is it because it takes 72 hrs for all the alcohol to be out of your system? And maybe that's why my body is rebelling? Food always seems to help he cravings. I even talked to my wife last night instead of giving her the silent treatment. So that was good.
Slept a little better last night. I'm dreaming so I know I'm getting deep sleep. The dreams are more intense tho so I think that's why I keep waking up and tossing and turning. I guess that's still better than it used to be.
Passing/blacking out for like 3 or 4 hours. Then wake up with dry, cotton mouth having to go to the bathroom. Then spend the next 3 or 4 hours laying there wondering why I did this to myself AGAIN. Wondering what I said or did that night. Getting up to get a drink, then get up again to go to the bathroom.
I'm, surprisingly, to me anyway, in a fairly good mood this morning. The fog is lifting. We'll see what today brings.
Good luck to every today. Keep up the good work.

Hang in there willow.
Day 4 is going fine so far. About to make dinner. Why am I so hungry? Guess I need to fill my body with something other than the alcohol. But I'm eating everything in site.
How's everyone doing? Keep up the good work!

Day 5
How's everyone doing today?
Rough start to my morning today. I went to bed late last night and didn't sleep well. I laid there for about an hour last night just thinking about the last 20 years of my life. I started thinking about how my drinking has caused so much hurt and pain for those around me. Even though I've been with my wife and kids all along I've missed so much of them growing up. It's no wonder that there is such a distance between me and them.
Sort of depressed this morning.
Have a good day everyone.
