Well it's the start of day 3. I made it through the night and actually slept well. I woke refreshed and in a good mood. But now as the time aproches for me to leave for work, I don't want to leave the house. Don't get me wrong, I actually like my job, but it's been nice being home and under a blanket the last couple days. I almost feel like I need a week to just veg. But I can't. I don't have a full time job where I can just take a week off and hide. But I am off tomorrow and Monday. I'm also feeling a bit down just because of my lack of funds. But now that I'm not drinking that should change. I'll check in with you guys on my lunch. I should be in a better mood than I am now. Well off to shower and eat.

Well, I made it through the day and I drove passed the bar and I'm home with no alcohol in me or in my house. On the way home I was craving a drink but made it through the craving. Work was good and I had a good time. I'm glad I made it through day 3!

Be gentle with yourself! Three days is truly amazing for those who used like we have!

Great job on 3 days Topherrm and kudos for keeping it out of your home. You will find that it does get easier the further you distance yourself from alcohol. As far as finances and other ups and downs that life throws our way, once you are firmly grounded in sobriety, you will find the initiative and drive to find solutions to problems that seem overwhelming at the moment. It is truly amazing to rediscover your inner strength once the veil of alcohol has lifted.

I think the best thing for you was to just spend a couple days inside until you've recovered. I would always get into to trouble by venturing out when I was certainly fragile and passing bars or liquor stores. Sounds like you're past the worst of it. Hang in there!
