Today has been a little more rough than yesterday. My girlfriend left with our one year old to spend time with her sister and her kids at the park. This would normally have been a time when I probably would have snuck in some drinking time. Not only did I not drink, but I actually poured the last two beers and the rest of the vodka we had in our apartment down the drain.

I know I made the right decision but I have definitely felt some physical cravings that made me irritable and even gave me a mild headache. I'm really looking forward to getting to the point to where I have overcome this part of the recovery and no longer crave alcohol.

Well done on your day 2. I felt relief when I poured out the vodka despite knowing I was in for withdrawals. It felt as if everyone here was pouring it out with me and I had a boost of determination. Stay strong.

Congrats on being able to pour the booze down the drain on day 2!!! That takes a lot of courage! I held onto my booze for a couple of weeks before I was able to say goodbye and pour it out. I even watched for the recycle truck on garbage day so I could symbolically wave goodbye to my bottles. Crazy right?? Anyway, keep up the great work!!!
