Hi and welcome.
Yes it’s a tough period but there is a positive to it. It helped me to remember what it was like in this period for the future if you are tempted to have “just one.”
I like the saying “ if we don’t pick up the first drink one day at a time in a row we don’t have to TRY to get sober AGAIN.”
BE WELL

You might find that from this point you need to distract yourself from drinking.
Many will tell you that ice cream is a life saver at this stage.
It's good to have plenty of nice things to eat and drink and something to do-walking, knitting, exercise, movies, whatever.
If you get antsy, please come and post.

Thanks Janie. I will. I'm actually proud of myself for eating breakfast today. Haven't done that since my binge. This message board is a great distraction as well, getting caught up on old posts and stuff.
I know my username is ridiculous, lol. To set the record straight, it's a quote from the Chuck Palahniuk book Invisible Monsters. Which I thought was fitting since sometimes alcoholism is an invisible monster.
Hey birds...love your name by the way.
So, I'm on day five as well, and yeah, cravings and lots of daydreaming about alcohol going on today. Its really pissing me off too! Im serious, it makes me mad that I've allowed alcohol to take so much from me YET I continue to give it so much space in my head!!
Just want you to know you're not alone!
