Day 9
 

Hi all. I have been struggling with quitting again since my mom passed in march. I would come on say day 1 and never make it thur. I had a celebration of life ceremony for my mom today and I needed to honor her right and have some time sober to be proud of so this was my motivation. Had I not quit when I did I knew today would be a disaster. Not my actions when I drink just how sick it made me. I drank 20 Oz whiskey a day everyday since Feb 18 and 119 days back almost 5 years of that. I was on a hamster wheel. Drink to relieve anxiety and then not sleep and wake up so anxious so I drink then feel sick all night. Stupid circle I can't be happier to not be on anymore. I did it cold turkey like I did before, had some night sweats,anxiety ect ect but I felt worse drinking. For new people starting if I could say one thing... when your going thru hell keep going.... I promise it's priceless to wake up every morning well rested, not hung over and be able to enjoy the day rather then worry when the next drink is. I was serving alcohol at the party and I had zero craving to have one. Maybe it's different for me because it was littereraly killing me and I was sick. But I wish you all strength on this journey we are all in together.

Congrats on day 9. So sorry about your Mom.

Nine days is great, what kind of plan do you have to stay sober? Family loss is always hard, but made much harder with drinking included.

We are indeed all in this together :grouphug: Congratulations on day 9. Let's keep it going, shall we?

Your doing excellent bud

Congrats to 9 days hopefull. Well done and keep going.... great to have you here.
