Hey guys. Checking in. I'm now 48 hours sober. I tried tapering off but I just got drunk again so I went cold turkey on Sunday. Still getting regular anxiety attacks but I think I'm through the worst of it got a few hours of sleep last night which was a blessing. I've got a lot of things running through my head like they never have before and it's a bit overwhelming but I think I can deal with it. It's like I'm
Re-discovering **** I've been trying to bury in alcohol for years. If I can get past a week I feel like I might have a shot at getting "myself" back. Also attended a meeting and got myself a white chip, hope to attend many more I survived a war, this **** isn't going to kill me.

hey gixxerman, congratulations on 48 hours! You are right, sobriety will not kill you ... it may be hard sometimes, but well worth it. Keep checking in!

I'm 21 days sober. You are in for a real treat in around 7 days. You will feel and look so much better. You mind will settle down.

I find it useful to think about not drinking just for today. One day at a time.

Two days is a good start to a better life.

Me 9 days Gixx. Far out on your 48 hours. I'm feeling heaps better physically and mentally but am mindful of not getting cockey which has been my downfall in the past. Awww, just one won't hurt, feel good - yeah right. Not.

Keep at it, be aware of these thoughts try to not let them control you, reach out as you have, try to work on a plan short, med and long term, baby steps bud and you will make it through. I have found this forum and other resources available a blessing and it has kept me sober since the 12th

Keep going it only gets better with time. That said with time we can also get complacent so make sure you gave a good plan to combat cravings.
