Day 3 sober

Day 3 sober today! Did not think I would get here but I apparently survived. Thank you to this board and thanks to all here for great support and info! I wanted to drink last night but instead, I went for a VERY spicy thai curry coconut soup at a restaurant next to the supermarket where liquor is sold. I think I may have found a suitable substitute for alcohol when the craving hits- burn your mouth off spicy food! :-)

Curry sounds really good. I think my paycheck just got direct deposited at midnight... I sense some Thai in my future...

Congrats on day 3! Keep it up.

thank you thank you thank you!! Been sleeping a LOT - I went to bed at like 8 pm last night and was so tired. Probabaly getting the crap out of my system is what is so exhausting. Got up in the middle of the night a few times but overall got some sleep at last on and off. This day will be the tell-all since I have not been past 3 days before. I feel strong and good though; will keep checking here and reading posts

Congrats on day 3! I'm just a day ahead of you, and pretty much slept all week too. Our bodies need the rest. It is hard work to detox.

We can do this!

You can make it past three days! Come here any time you feel the urge to drink. Post/vent here instead of drinking. It worked for me.

As to the sleeping, your body is readjusting to sleeping without alcohol and it will take some time to get back to normal functioning.

Wonderful job on your 3 sober days! Those first few are rough, but you made it.
