Well done!
Sleep and emotions are going to be difficult for a couple weeks, so just tough it out. I found herbal teas helpful, as well as a walk for 30 minutes a day - maybe during your normal drinking time.
When I couldn't sleep in those first couple weeks, I came online and read some stories on this site. A cup of hot chocolate and a piece of toast usually made me able to go to sleep again.

Great job on coming back and making it to day 2. I missed your original post a couple days ago, so welcome to SR.
This place has been a savior for many of us here; me included.
Your daily drinking pattern brought back so many memories of my own. Just realize that this fight is going to take a ton of will power and a good plan for when your AV tries to convince you it's ok to drink again.
Bottom line is you can do this and have the power to make this change for good. It is so empowering when you take control of your life and your every waking moment doesn't revolve around drinking.
Plenty of us have been directly in your shoes.
Welcome aboard and outstanding job on day 2!

Hello there and welcome,
I'm new to these forums and working on staying sober myself after doing my best to set UV Vodka sales records here in my city. God, it's so disgusting the way we pour that poison down our throats with such desperation. I can't even remember the last time I even poured vodka into a glass at my house. Much more efficient to just drink straight from the bottle. You're done. I'm done. We can do it.
