Kids and everyone in the world is driving me CRAZY
 

Day 2 (I am a every second day type drinker) and I am sooooooo annoyed with everyone. I want to crawl out of my skin. This is why I drink. Or this is what I feel like when I cant drink. Not sure I am gonna make it to day 3 :(

You can get through it. There's no easy way but to sit with the feelings and try to distract yourself if you can. Day 3 is almost here!

Early withdrawal it though. It was the struggle and misery of early recovery that convinced me I needed recovery. I needed to be able to not drink, yet still cope with life.

Stay strong. This is why you came here.

They may be driving you crazy but drinking 'at them' won't help anything. I hope you can develop ways to deal with the stress without drinking. Drinking only makes anxiety worse. :(

I have come to the conclusion that it is our kids job to drive us insane, they would do this whether I was drunk or sober. It's just there way of loving us. Keep strong, only you can decide to not drink.

Congrats on day 2

When I first came to SR someone said *anyone* can commit to 24 hours sobriety.
So thats what I did for a while, day by day.

If a big time drinker like me could do it, you can too lovingliving :)

This is a great thread to help you commit to 24 hours

Might be a good time to be alone?
Maybe find a close by AA meeting?
Stay close to this site and post often?

Today, do I (we) wish to stay sober more than we wish to drink?

It's easy to talk myself into drinking.
The flesh wants a lot of things that are not good for it.
Being mature means saying no to my desires if they are harmful to myself or others.

Question -- who will be displeased with you if you drink?

My kids are driving me nuts tonight too and I'm on 46 days. Kids will be kids they are meant to drive us nuts, makes us stronger.

If you drink you will have them driving you nuts tomorrow with a hangover. You can do it, don't drink, ride out the urge and it will get easier!

lovingliving One Day at a Time. Want sobriety more than a drink. The drink will make the problem temporally go away but it will still be there when you sober up. I always payed the annoyed, moody, depressed Tax when I sobered up. On top of that the problems got worse.
