Day 5. The lack of sleep, shakes and everything is driving me crazy. Going to see a therapist on Monday to help sort through the anxiety and stress. First AA meeting coming up Sunday morning, feeling scared. Do i just show up if it is labeled as an open session? Do i need to take anything? How long is the usual meeting? Maybe the fact that coming off all chemical substances is making me over think way too much along with not sleeping for crap. Really need to find activities that will force me to interact with new people, i was thinking about picking p a yoga class. Anyone have any pointers?

Went to doctors again he's given me some tablets to help with the withdrawal, also spoke to sponsor in AA and he was straight with me- Ive got to want sobriety and not just need it-fair point, know deep down in my heart that I am an alcoholic and Ive got to remember that when I feel 'well' and 'normal' again. So staying in tonight and getting to a meeting tomorrow. Also arranged to see a councillor next Tuesday, told my sister how bad things have got and said sorry to my ex AGAIN for drunken phone calls, friends have all but left me to it, my real ones are in AA and on here, no-one understands like us, and when I feel like playing guitar with old school friends instead of a meeting or when I stop posting here- I MUST remember where it leads me to take my eye off the sobriety ball.

Hey all. Strong Friday cravings today so I hit two AA meetings. One at lunchtime and one after work far away from my old drinking places and work colleagues.
Home now and feeling better. No way am I going out again to the store!!! Although AV just asked me to. Do one AV!!! I am very tired and my body needs sleep today.
I have just been doing some work writing down all the people and institutions I resent ready for a sponsor meeting tomorrow. I think I know where this is going to go as I can see my own faults for those things peeking through....
Hope everyone is good. Welcome to new classmates
I just cracked Day 13

I've been doing the same. Work, SR, AA meeting and home, into slouchy clothes and almost locked myself away every evening. There is too much at this point in time in town or even on the doorstep to break me. And I know it will not be just one drink...
Stay strong!

Tell your AV you're a non drinker

Just for anyone who doesn't know...we routinely close threads at 500 posts or so, and then open a part 2 - so don't panic if you come back here and this part is closed
there will always be a link to the next part as the last post in this thread
