Day 3
Hi all after many attempts to quit I’m again on day 3. I’ve had a lot of issues loosing my baby last year etc but was a drinker before that. I was on here often with a different user name.
Anyway been having a rough time with flash backs and drinking for anxiety and was even drunk in work rock bottom. I went to go going to get counselling and have taken a month off work. Life’s so hard but drink doesn’t help it makes it 200 times worse.
The last 3 days have been tough I was drinking a bottle of vodka a day last 10 days so the fear and shakes etc were awful however I made myself try to do housework etc. I’ve 2 other kids who also lost their brother and wen I’m coping they are so much happier.
Today I feel a little more positive. Still have the full hair and eyes of a drunk but gonna shower soon and try to look ok and maybe go a walk.
So I hope it’s ok being here for some accountability. Love to all and good luck xxx

I am not the most sympathetic person on this forum. But anyone who loses a child gets my full sympathy and support. Thank God you have two other children to give you a reason to carry on. I hope you somehow find peace and serenity soon.

So sorry for your loss. I remember your posts. I am so glad you have found your way back to SR. The first few days sober are just plain tough but have faith it will get better. Keep posting. You will get a lot of support here.

Day 3 is outstanding! You might want to consider joining the class of January, there are people who are at the same stage of quitting as you are. Take each day as it comes, make the decision not to drink, post here, and watch as your days accumulate and you start to feel like you are coming back from the brink. We're here with you - so sorry about the loss of your child, that must have been so devastating.

Welcome back. So sorry for your loss. You still have 2other children to raise and nurture. Get yourself sober and love them the way they deserve. I have 2 sons that are finally getting the best that I can give them. A sober dad.
