1 week

So im officially 1 week sober. Finally broke down and saw my doc today. She put me on atarax and ativan. I guess both are to help with the anxiety and the atarax is also to help with cravings. Took one each a luttle bit ago, and for the first time in a week, I think I might be able to sleep. Which I dedperately need!!!!

Congratulations! One week is huge, that is 168 hours! Good on you for talking to a doctor, that takes a tremendous amount of courage that all of us here recognize. Now go get some of that sleep

If you're following the same pattern as me, you'll be dozing off all over the place tomorrow

hay great job for week 1. it this time was difficult for me. i had to take a antidepressant also for a while to get over the hump. but also i had to find something to occupy my mind or get my mind off things when i would normally drink at night. i took up new activities such as cooking more home made meals, relandscaped my yard. also i took up doing sudoku puzzles. so i hope to see the one month from you. good luck!

Congrats on your week as well as seeing your doctor! I had my doc put a note in my file that I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict for future reference in terms of medications.
