Good Morning kckman and EVERYONE!! I made it, I made it, I made it!!! One entire day and night with NO alcohol or drugs!! It's just about 9am and I just got up too! It was a fitful sleep but I still slept in very late. My body feels like it went 10 rounds last night. I think fighting those cravings last night just put it thru the ringer. My mind though is thrilled! I can't believe I made it through yesterday! Today is a new day and for right now my head is being pretty quite and I am grateful for that. I don't know what today will bring but I'm pretty happy right now so i'm going to try to not look ahead much into the day. Kind of like driving in thick fog. I start to freak out if I look any further than the front of the car so today I'm going to try to not look further than NOW. THANK YOU so much for everyone who listened and let me ramble on last night. I would have never had made it without being here that's for sure! THANK YOU!!
kckman I looked at rational recovery last night for a bit and plan on checking it out more. Like you said.....i'll take a piece of this that and everything, whatever it takes.

well 3pm and still clean and sober. Kind of in a dangerous place right now I think. My head was definately playing with me and the scary part was I wasn't all frantic NOT to drink! My head kept saying "you don't do that much" and stuff. I in fact told myself to come read the boards AND THEN I could have a drink if I was still wanting it. I came on here and there was a PM from someone and it was just what I needed for now. It isn't what was said so much but the fact that it was directed to ME. For whatever reason that made a difference and helped me get a little further in the day still sober. So now at least i'm further away from feeling like "go ahead and drink" and back to frantic not too. This is a vicious cycle that goes on. At least I made the deal with myself to come here BEFORE I drank anything and glad I did cause I have a little more strength for now.

(((((((((((((((((still me)))))))))))))))))))
You're doing great! Hang in there! I had to cling to the fact in the beginning that it was what I was DOING, not FEELING that COUNTED THE MOST. The good feelings come as a matter of course when we do the right things..staying sober.(((((((((((((Huge Hugs))))))))))))))))
This sticker makes me laugh....but I found it so true, especially the earliest days of getting sober.

Thanks everyone! Yes I'm still here and still clean and sober. I just went to the meeting here and was so anxious even though it was an online meeting! That meeting kept me sober for another hour though
