Day 3
Forgot I had a glass of jack and ice tea on Sunday, so that makes today day 3. I’m still so disgusted in my behavior that the thought of a beer makes me want I throw up. I have a sixer in my fridge and surprisingly I haven’t once thought about drinking one. Once the shame leaves I’m sure he temptations will come back, but for now I have no desire to drink. It turns me into something and someone I don’t want to be anymore. Just wish this guilt and shame would disappear. Oh well, day four waits.

Hello, and congratulations on three days.
Once the guilt, shame and anxiety left me I was right back to it too. Usually day four.
I drank like that, and much worse, for thirty years.
Personally, I would get rid of the beer in the fridge. For me, as I said, the desire to drink came back no matter my behavior while drunk, and I was a bad drunk.
You've found a great place for support. You CAN quit drinking no matter how low we have sunk. And I sank pretty low.
Best to you, and remember, you never have to drink again.

The opposite of addiction is connection.

I guarantee that everyone here has felt the guilt and shame. Stay sober and do the right thing every day and the guilt and shame will leave you. Go to AA meetings where you can talk freely about your feelings of guilt and shame, EVERYONE there will understand and relate and it will feel like a huge weight off of you.
