Day13
This evening I am really down. I feel so lonely and empty. It's only been 13 days and I'm actively working toward a happier life. I know it will not happen overnight, but evenings like this are not fun. Tomorrow evening I will go to the first ladies small group bible study. The topic is very relevant for my current life. I'm optimistic I will make some friendships in this class. The beginning of creating a life here. For today, I will not drink and will keep inching forward.

Great job Sinderos! Cravings and feelings are similar as they come and go. If your down tonight maybe call someone, read a book or watch a movie. Something to get your mind off of it. I am sure you will feel better tomorrow. Have a great night!

13 days is great sinderos 
the difference is when we have a bad day now, it's just a bad day, not a bad week , month or year.
Keep moving forward - there is a full and joyous life waiting for you
I hope tomorrow is better for you

Great job, Sinderos! I know every day isn't easy but after awhile it does get easier. After your body and brain adjust to sobriety, and with work, it's definitely possible to feel much better and stronger. Patience isn't easy but the rewards are there.
Hang on!

Sounds like you have the right attitude. No, it doesn't happen overnight, and a lot of times it feels like you're up to your axles in mud sliding backward. But as Dee said, now it's just a bad day and not a bad month.
13 is a good start. No more physical stuff, now it's all "mental". One step at a time. Good for you.
