awful 2 days a week before 6 month mark
yesterday and today are the worst 2 days i have had since I quit drinking. Baby mama is upset with me, my son hasnt spoken to me in a couple days which kills me. Brother let me down in a big way again, had to listen to Aunts garbled drunk talk, sat here resenting my late mother while everyone else is enjoying time with someone who cares about them, Feel overwhelmed in just thinking about a job, Grandpa cant hear anything I say the first time and questions everything I say like either I'm lying or he is disagreeing just to disagree or is pushing my buttons on purpose, then when I get upset he ask me in an ugly way whats the matter with me like im crazy or something, Cat and dog had a fight, Kittens that cant stay here on the porch, the cat that was my only friend turned on me is going away for adoption as well, brother finally called one minute before grandpa was going to bed and was short and said he was stopping by before his move to sa. I was too upset to stay here and work things out in that moment. I went for a drive but it didn't help. Feeling alone in this world. That's just the things going through my head this second. Oh man this would definitely be one of those times that I would have put down some booze. I am not going to though. I have came to far to ruin it all. If I ever do start drinking again it will be because I don't plan on making it through. fingers crossed that I can keep it together.

Times - each crappy day or event or week or family interacation that we drunks dont pick up to deal with it, is a learning experience. You did good friend. You are still sober and 4 5 days to your 5 month mark. Thats awesome and you should be proud of yourself.
Keep working your plan, learn from your successes and repeat the process.
I am 6 months sober tomorrow. The journey is full of rough patches from time to time but we have no choice to soldier on in with our committment and desire for a good quality life.
You can do this.

Like our friend said, there will be bad days.
When I was drinking, I didn't give a damn
what people thought of me. My only concern
was alcohol and if I could get enough.
Life is trying, even to non-alcoholics.
Now that I have been dry, I am more aware
of the world around me and I feel fragile and more sensitive.
Remember, it's a rough road, but we have to keep truckin.

Try some zinc and magnesium.
If my stress starts building up, I get a big bag of epsom salts, and plug the faucet with very hot water to dip my feet in for 10 minutes daily for the next week. I'll also start taking 30mg zinc picolinate, 3x daily first day, 2x second and third, 1x the remaining of the week.
That trick has helped me out many times over the last several years. May help you as well. Not sure.

Well, I looked and the last meetings were at 8:00pm. Here is the number 361-992-8911. However, I don't know if they answer 24/7. A helpline call center or staying here on SR are also available. I wish I could help out more. You can get through this....a minute at a time for now...they've already added up, since when you first posted .
