On to day 3....
Okay day 3 here, about 62 hours since last drink. No real symptoms besides a slight pressure in head/tension headache, and massive stomach upset out of nowhere( sorry if TMI) Although it could have been what we ate for dinner last night or all the juice I've been drinking. So as I said a huge trigger for me is stress/selling our house. Last night I did get an instant urge and anxiety and panic when I got a text from our agent saying we have two showings tonight. Keeping my house spotless is real work when I have 2 kids and 2 boxers, but I somehow always manage. Last night though, I fought the urge( it was only a quick thought about making a drink, and my husband even had a few beers) and went about my business sober. Really really proud of myself considering I have the stuff here if I wanted it. Hoping everyone else is doing well today, and enjoying being sober! The last few days have been awesome not having a hangover!

Good work taramaree. This early in sobriety you are still in the acute withdrawal phase, so physically you can have a whole host of symptoms. Glad you have some support locally, and of course see a DR if you have any major issues that are troubling you.

Fantastic, 3 days is huge! Keep at it, every day you will feel better and better. The cravings are no fun at all, but I have found timing them helps. I am averaging about 5-7 minutes. I just try to tick through them, often coming on here to read or post. It really helps. Congratulations, stay strong!
