Made it 1 Month!
1 month ago was the start of a long Memorial Day Weekend. I had been having some pain in my liver going on a month or two. So I started cutting down, but would start drinking the second my pain subsided a little. Loaded up for the weekend with a box of wine and an 18 pack after work. Went to my neighbors that night for a few beers. All I could feel was the pressure on my liver after having a beer. The fear from the pain in my liver caused me to have a panic attack that night. I got so scared that I was going to die from my continual drinking that I got home and poured everything out.
Today I start my second month. I can go to church this morning and actually talk to people since I don't fear them smelling alcohol on my breath. My liver pain is gone. The joint pain I was starting to experience is gone.
I don't know what tomorrow brings with my addiction. I do feel that SR has given me better tools to deal with my AV. I also feel that admitting I am powerless against alcohol helped me. I finally said to myself that I can't have any alcohol at any time.
Good luck to my class of June 2012 and thanks for the support of SR members.
