Thanks, its just crazy -spend all day on here reading threads and convincing myself not to drink today and then that little voice inside starts telling me that I could just have a few.
Breaking it down into half hour slots now.
Really hope I can come back and look at this thread tomorrow and further in the future and be proud of myself.

Thank you Kafkaesque.
I am so glad I found this place and updating this thread (even if I am mainly talking to myself - lol) is helping me more than anything right now. Just need to make it through the night. Doubt I will sleep but at least I can keep coming here.

Laska - we're so glad to have you with us. Congratulations on wanting a better life - some never see what alcohol is doing to them.
You have every reason to be proud of yourself. After the first few days things will get so much easier. We promise you won't always feel this anxious.

Fantastic work Laska
You only have to do this once!
In a weird masochistic way I enjoyed the weird scary and strange feelings of the first few days - it made it all the more real and felt like I was really achieving something, if that makes sense.
You can do this!
