Day 3 done.....I hope tomorrow goes this well. It wasn't painfree, but compared to yesterday, it was doable. Felt positive overall and I'm grateful for a break in the urges and pressure. I know there is more to come, but this was helpful. Maybe sleep will be decent....That might be too much to expect. Blessings all..

Nice job on day 3

Day ....4. Sleep wasn't good, but I'm not surprised. I don't feel as chipper as yesterday. I'm hoping today is reasonable and I can make it through. If I get to day 6, well besides being a miracle, I will have made it longer than the previous 2-3 years. If I make it past day 9, I can't ever remember any time longer, so that would be really interesting.

Feels like the day is getting slower and longer.....I have a music practice tonight, but afterwards will be the challenge.....Today is full of urges and lying thoughts....That are getting louder as the day progresses.....

Day 5....I thought this was supposed to get easier....If I could sleep or get rid of the splitting headache, either one would help.

Feeling better, my head ache is less. Yeah!!

Thing do take a little time to get better and, for a little while sometimes you may even feel worse than the day before...but keep going..you're definitely going in the right direction

End of day 5. I fell at this point last week. But I'm glad to say... Goodnight alcohol free. Still hoping for good sleep.

Nice job! I read your whole post from the beginning and i can tell in your heart you really want this. One thing that i feel that really helps me is to eat something when i have a craving. I also say the serenity prayer. Over time as you continue down the road of happy destiny you begin to pickup more and more tools which aid in your sobriety.

I'm on day 3. I can't go back to the madness anymore. This is tough and I'm gonna ride the first weeks out and just hold on. I'm right next to you...

Thank you Comtnman. This is important to me and I do want to be free of this thief. I want to be a better Father and manage my emotions healthy. Thanks for your encouragement....it matters.
