Which day is the most difficult?

I am not big on surprises, and I've honestly tried sobriety before, so when will it hit the hardest? I've made it 4 days before, but knowing exactly when the next drink was coming, so I don't know if that counts. I want to be ready with a list of strategies for that first stressful afternoon after a long day at work...

For me its not really the number of the day when I've fallen off, its more when I allow myself to entertain the idea that I might not have a problem or when I give myself excuses for why I should be allowed to drink. When I romanticize my feelings of getting and staying drunk.

All the days are different. If you want to make things better and you think you have a problem and want to see if sobriety can be a benefit, give it a shot. It is completely up to you.

Which day is the most difficult?

For me that was always the next day after drinking myself into oblivion. I hated myself the day after pretty much every time I drank to the point of no return.

Any bad day I had or have now not drinking is nothing compared to those days.

That's how I got through the first couple of months. I know that what I choose to do today is going to create my tomorrow. I just couldn't take anymore of those day afters anymore.

You can do it! Don't give up. You are worth it!

Friday...the start of the weekend. The weekends are usually my toughest times cause I like going out and being social, but haven't found that perfect medium for me to do so, without going to clubs, lounges, etc

After 13 years of daily drinking, I am now on day 16 of sobriety. I have yet to experience the AV urging me to drink. I've had no particularly difficult days. Lucky, maybe. But I think it's more by the grace of God that I got sober and continue to stay sober without difficulty.

Like Eleni I haven't had a bad day yet. Hope it will last . No withdrawal either. But I am very dedicated to sobriety this time. And that really makes a difference. It may not be easy but I'm worth it, so are u. Hope to see u around.

Today is the most difficult one to get through .

For me acceptance plays a big part in it , accepting there will be days of torment , anguish and pain .
The permanent pleasure or permanent relief from pain that this brain want's dosn't happen from drink and drugs .

Bestwishes, m
