Day 2 Starting
Hey Everyone,
I finally got hold of some benzos yesterday from my psychiatrist. I only managed 4 hours sleep as I woke up in a cold sweat. He thinks I can still make it back from the dead so to speak as long as I don't self-medicate with alcohol. He suggested a few lifestyle changes. I'm planning on getting back to walking, AA, eating healthy and trying a new social group. I feel like I'm having cravings even now but maybe its just wanting to escape the anxiety I am feeling. I took it an hour at a time a few times yesterday and that seemed to work so I'll keep going with that.

Of course you can make it back, sweetichick! Just be patient. I know sleep was a big issue for me the first few weeks. I was grouchy as all get out, but it did resolve itself.
Sounds like you have a good plan in place.
We're all behind you. Keep posting and let us know how you're getting along.

Congrats on 2 days sober! You can do this! You are not coming back from the dead, you are alive and capable of anything that you put your mind to!
I am happy your doctor is involved and that you are planning on making some life style changes. The more you re-vamp your life and change things around the easier it is to stay sober - or at least that is how it is for me. I hope your sleeping gets better soon, that was one of the hardest parts for me but it did right itself!
