Day 5
Hi all,
I am a long time drinker not everyday but close, I have quit smoking cigs in the past 12yrs ago, quit drugs, quit everything at least once like coffee and pop and anything that was labled bad except the drink, wine & beer ect,
I have always been able to make it a few days without drinking and not to long ago I went two weeks, but in the last few months I havent been able to make it a few days and when I drank I noticed I was drinking to get messed up, once I got the buzz I wanted a better buzz like if I was drinking beer I would switch to wine or vodka,, crazy I know.
But now I am on day 5 and feeling pretty good, I did take up smoking Cigars
at the end of the day, instead of going for the drink I try a new cigar, I dont like cigars and they are helping and I think they will be easier to quit when Im ready. But I have bad anxiety with my job and just life always have.
I know the Cigars are bad but instead of thinking about the drink I am focusing on Cigars..
Anyway day 5 here and feeling good...

Congrats on 5 days Vulcan. Drinking was causing me some major anxiety problems at the end too, after some sober time it really got a lot better.
SR is a great place to hang out if you need some extra support, and someone is always on - welcome!
