Sober and calm

I'm 4 days sober and feeling calmer than I have been for a few weeks. I'd been white knuckling it and feeling full of anger and all sorts of other ugly emotions.

I'm not saying that suddenly everything is A-OK but I have decided to get help from other sources too. Posting on here. I've done 5 AA meetings in 4 days, I've set myself up with some one to one counselling to get to grips with what got me drinking in the first place and I've started meditation.

I don't want to mess up again, every time I fall flat on my face it does me so much harm and I don't know how much more my poor little body and mind can take of that.

Hope everyone is well.

Big hugs D x

That is great news that you're feeling much more calm now.
It's a BIG sign that things are starting to turn the corner for the best.

It does get better with time and the struggles are worth it. It sounds like you have a good plan in place. Congrats on day 4.

Day 4 was good for me too except I still had dizziness and fog. But the anxiety was gone.

OMG 4 days is a dream to me right now so BIG WELL DONE! And, although, I am somewhat of a mess, I do have malignant optimism and this is largely because I listen to peaceful music when I feel even a tiny bit anxious. I can't bare to feel anxiety EVER so I force myself to and it really freaking works. Search, binural (sp) or alpha wave beats on youtube. They ease bad feelings instantly. I'd be constantly plugged in if I could! Good luck x
