Made It.
Day 4 and I made it through New Years Eve without drinking, to be honest I really didn't want to get off the couch yesterday and I really don't want to today. I really want to sleep. I think I am depressed. I have so much to do around the house and don't want to do anything but lay here. I spent NYE alone, I sent my daughter to her aunts so she could have some fun, because I was definitely not the best company to be around. I am not going to drink today, but believe me when I say, I am in the most foul mood having to think about my drunken actions of the past I don't really even want to wake up in the morning. Just wanted to vent a little bit. Thanks SR.

Well done!
Just be easy in yourself. Just try do do one little thing at a time around the house. I'm in early recovery also. I usually post, do one laundry load, come back to post and just keep going like that. First thing I know, I helped people, helped myself, and my chores and mostly done.

Ah well so you can't be bothered to do anything...don't :-) The early days are a struggle as you well know, you will start feeling better soon so deal with it all then :-) Just relax and watch some rubbish TV and maybe you can drift off which will make you feel better.

Thanks Y'all. I really am trying. I am doing pretty well with the AV when it hits, I usually think about the stupid sht I have done and will do if I pick up that bottle. It really is helping me focus. I just wish these other feelings would stay at bay, but I guess that is what I drank all of the time for...to block them out. Time to put on my big girl underwear and face the facts. That is the only thing I can do.

Dom, give yourself the gift of forgiveness. It's not a luxury, it's a necessity. I wallowed in the messes I had made, too, and it just slows down the recovery/healing process.
Be kind to yourself.

Maybe sleeping, resting, eating and drinking tons of water and watching TV and posting here are exactly what your body and mind needs right now. Give yourself a high five for staying sober New Year's and four days, and give yourself a break for not wanting to do chores. Think of it this way: Even if you did them today, you'll still have to do them all over again in a day, a week, two weeks. So you miss a day. Big deal. Rest up and have a peaceful day.

Day 5 now. I feel so bi-polar. Yesterday was hell, yet today I am in a great mood. We will see if that continues when I get off of work, though. I got a full 8 hours of sleep. It is getting much easier to stay asleep now and not wake up every hour on the hour. Anyway, just thought I would update my thread. Thanks for listening SR.
