Day 2 and feeling hopeful
Spent all day on this page reading blogs hanging out in the chat rooms and meeting people yesterday. I slept a majority of my day away and still feel exhausted today. However I feel hopeful for what the day holds, I am going to focus on working hard at the office, and coming home to do some housework and make. Nice healthy dinner. I finally got the balls to bail on my party plans for the 4th of July and am going to spend the entire weekend with my parents and sister. Thanks for all the help family!

Good job on day 2! That is awesome!
If I may make a suggestion. Try not to plan to much. Just let it play out. You may get home and be so tired that you don't feel like housework or making dinner.
When I did this and did not follow through I felt like a failure and it brought me down.
Just take the day as it rolls. If you can, try and keep your goal to one thing at time. My only goal everyday was to not drink and nothing else. The house could wait and I can eat whenever I wanted.
Just don't pick up.

Hi Zoop -- Great job on day 2!
Just wanted to say I agree with GracieLou above. The first few days, I definitely wasn't as productive as I thought I would be I did feel a bit let down at myself at first, until I came to SR and saw it was somewhat normal.
Keep it up!

Thanks again for all the support. Hard morning at work, very irritable and people did notice. I just keep my head down and keep focused on my work. Also told both mom and dad about my plans to recover. Very supportive. I am having pretty aggressive mood swings of happinness and sadness and alot of emotions. Hoping that gets better as the days go on. I did cave in and buy cigarettes but i figured that was ok as long as it wasnt a drink or a joint.

The mood swings will get better.
And, I agree with Gracie Lou too. Your mood is changing rapidly and so your plans to go home, do housework and make a nice dinner might change too. And, that's okay. Just listen to your body.
