Day 2. Went thru light withdrawal on Monday. This is my 3rd serious attempt to end drinking. It has ruined every aspect of my life. Family, friends, work, marriage. You name it. I know I can't get back what I destroyed but I refuse to ruin my life any more or anyone else's life for that matter. Just feels good to vent

Thanks for the encouragement. My kids are only 8 and 6. I want to be around for them even though I already destroyed the marriage. Amazing after I studied alcoholism I realized how badly it really was affecting me for nearly 20 years. I thought I had severe anxiety issues. Got prescriptions meds you name it. It was just alcohol withdrawal. It's such a horrible disease I just wish I would have realized I had a problem sooner.

Good luck I'm on day 2 as well really hope it works this time. I have shared the same withdrawals and anxiety. Good luck and really looking forward to the positives that come with not drinking.
