I'm not a big fan of doctors. Most of them don't know much, and they do as little as they can. And yes, I'm annoyed that it's in my medical notes. Especially as it didn't appear till after I'd quit.
I too found this place by accident. Or maybe the intervention of my higher power. Who knows?

We are in the same boat, Startingova. Good choice making that decision to stop! (Easy for me to say, Mr Day 2 myself...) 
My plan to get me through today is to take as many walks as I need, when that stupid jerk in my head whispers, "Go on. Just a little." That guy is a moron.

The prayers I find most answered are the ones I whisper while walking to my AA meeting.
Please Google and read AA's "How It Works" and "The Doctors Opinion".
All the best.

AA has been mentioned and in all honesty I would love support from people who get it. I'm just not ready for people to know especially my husband or kids. I live in an area where everyone knows everyone. I own a small business and just feel too exposed. More importantly my husband has.....anger issues and I need to be strong for the kids. They can't seem me as weak. They already have one messed up parent.
Day 2 and I'm ok except I went for a walk came back in and poured myself a glass of wine. I never even thought about doing it. It's just so much a habbit that I poured it before I realized what I was doing. On a positive note I poured it out.

OK, so off the track but need to stay busy. I see some pretty cute animal pictures here. I have three children, a girl, a boy and a Bishion. The bishion is my favorite but don't tell the other kids ( yes, stolen from a tv commerical). It's amazing how the love of an animal can help isn't it. Unconditional love!

No Secrets Anymore
It has really helped me to post daily, hold me accountable. If I slip up, I am commited to be honest about it and post it in my daily blog. So, that is very helpful, no secrets anymore.

Well done on day 2 BTW. Having a personal recovery plan like your doing here at SR (posting and replying) has gotten a few members here sober with time. Keep up the effort and you will receive the rewards - an alcohol free life.

Congratulations for catching yourself and pouring the wine out!!
I can relate to the automatic tendencies - I felt like a robot at the end of my drinking....
Things may seem strange for a few days and your emotions can be all over the place but then it will start getting better and better!

Day 3 is here. Had a night of sweating and didn't get much sleep. Maybe it's my bodys way of getting rid of toxins??
I will start a blog tonight. Crazy but I feel so exposed telling my story but I know I can't do this alone. I've tried and failed too many times
