Welcome to the SR family. 
It's not easy to stop drinking but it is simple. Don't pick up that first drink. Don't let your addiction to alcohol define you. Write a new chapter for your life story. Make it a happier one.

Thank you
I am sweating and shaking now. Not fun.
Headache from hell.
Thank God I can be honest with my husband. Yes I had been 'hiding' my drinking from everyone but him . Which means as I struggle today he's understanding and supportive. He has made it clear that this is hard for him to watch, the drinking and lying to everyone.
I just have to make it thru......

Welcome 3wolves! You aren't alone anymore - we know exactly how you're feeling and want to help.
I was drinking all day & completely dependent on it when I came here. It was miserable the first few days, but I posted and read here as much as I could. It helped give me the courage I needed, plus it calmed my anxiety down a bit too. There's always someone here to listen - we understand like no one else can. Good to meet you.

Sobriety is so much better than I ever could have imagined.

Okay made it thru the night . Hardly slept. Not just physical but mental and emotional. I want to be sober. I know I am not 'handling' life . I want to participate. So many behaviors to change . I guess the first one is to get my self sober. Then go from there .

Remember that every day is going to come and go in 24 hours, whether you are drinking or not. I used to get big anxiety about not having any booze to drink, so the thought of being sober that evening was literally scary. But it turns out the day kept chuggin' right along even when I quit drinking, it was really a lot less awful than I thought it would turn out to be.
Once I got over that mental hurdle I had to figure out what to do with the twenty-plus hours a week I used to spend drunk off my ass, that was the next obstacle for me.

I have kept busy by cooking all day.
Only lost my temper once, and don't tell me 15 year olds font know how to push buttons..... But we talked since then, and we are good now.
My grand daughter is going home shortly. So I will have to find something to stay busy.? Almost thru day two.
