Well done on 4 days it will be a week before you know it

This is an old thread but I am once again four days with no alcohol. I need to make a plan and stick with it. I am planning on going to AA but never get the courage to follow through. I need to change that. I am a binge drinker and recovering after a weekend of drinking beer has gotten horrible. The anxiety and pain is unbearable. I need accountability and I am going to do it.

Good job on four days sober. I'ma binge drinker myself. You definately need a plan. I had to hit an all time low, one that I'm still dealing with at this very moment ro get sober. All you need now is a plan. The first step is to not take that first drink.

Krisinwi

Thanks Ghostface. You are right. I definitely need a plan. I am pretty low right now as well. I have to commit to sobriety once and for all. This is the single hardest thing I have ever done. I am going to get involved here more as well. I read a lot in the past but did not post. I am going to change that.

ring AA and ask them to send someone to bring you. It will make it all the more easier. I hope u get it this time. Every sober day is a miracle . you will be in my prayers

Krisinwi

Appreciate the advice Paddy. I have found a group and am planning on going tomorrow. I have made it through day 5. Still a lot of anxiety and discomfort. I made it through work and am happy about that. On to another day sober.

Well done Krisinwi, I feel your pain, had to through it all again only recently I'm on da 21 after 8years sober and damn it was tough but these guys on here pulled me through. keep up the meetings and get on the program, the anxiety is a bitch but it will go. I suffer with a general anxiety disorder since i was young and had to get loads of counseling to manage it in a positive way . Keep the head up mate

Krisinwi

Hi everybody. Another day sober for me. Day 6. It still is not easy but I am determined and I am working on a plan. One great thing that has happened is my wife has agreed to quit drinking with me. This came out of the blue and I am pretty stoked about that. That has been a hurdle for me on attempts before. Just thought I would share a little bit. Hope all is good.

SoberLeigh

Great news on both counts, Krisinwi.

I wish you both the best!!!!

Congrats on six sober days.

Krisinwi

Thanks Soberleigh. Much appreciated.

Well done Kris!

Ah, the joys of anxiety. Mine was utterly crippling. So, being a super smart person, I drank more. Perpetuating the cycle once again.

I realise now that with the amount I was drinking it was actually withdrawal as well and drinking once more gave the feeling of being ok. AKA being pissed again.

I think we all have many issues. My own thoughts are that I simply drank to not deal with anything and take away the pain of what seemed insurmountable. Now I'm nearly a month, (yay!) I realise I bought into that delusion for too long.

All the best. You CAN do this.
