Third day
Well I made it through yesterday.
Sweated profusely again last night - really disgusting, waking up in the middle of the night stinking of sweat (why does alcohol sweat smell 10 times worse than gym sweat ?
) - I've been here before so I know it's the toxins leaving.
Mentally I am far more positive than yesterday. The fog has gone and I am feeling like I can do things again. My biggest fear has been Friday and Saturday evenings and I know I will be tempted then, but reading old posts about reclaiming Saturday and Sunday mornings and being able to actually do something with the day makes me excited. I am focussing on the positive thought in the hope that it will overcome the urge to drink.
The liver still feels a bit tender and bloated, I suppose it will continue for a few weeks.
I just have to stay positive no matter what the world throws at me.
Thanks for all the support I have recieved since I came here, it truly helps.

Hey tiger. Yeah, I knew that the weekend and its accompanying bordem was going to be a huge trigger for me, so this past weekend I left town lol! I went to visit family and friends and it really helped keep me distracted and positive. There were still cravings, but only minor ones. For your first weekend, I would highly recommend.. no.. insist on staying very busy and make lots of plans if bordem is as big a trigger for you as it is me.
