Accountability
I hope no one minds if i keep a accountability thread, today is day one and probably the worst day of my life. I can't sleep im aching and shaking and have a shooting pain in my head. Why has this happened to me I should of been stronger. I am devastated and scared
Tinker, I assure you I've done the same thing to myself - as many of us have. You're back now, and ready to reclaim your life. You will get free again and begin to heal. These miserable feelings will go away & become a faded memory as you lead a new & better life.
It's going to be ok.

Tinker, we do this to ourselves because we're addicts. You're here and you're seeking support, and that is showing your strength. The first few days are definitely tough, between feeling physically unwell and the mental torture that we bring to ourselves. But, it will get better. We can do hard things.
Hi Tinkerbeau. I think an accountability thread is a great idea. It’s nice to have a space to check in, get feedback or vent if necessary. I’m sorry you’re feeling the withdrawal symptoms of the first day or few but hey! You’re feeling your last first day. Hang in there. It gets easier.
In addition to Sober Recovery, I would encourage you to seek accountability in the form of face-to-face support, be it a substance abuse program, AA, rehab, counseling, therapy. Something in addition to just posting here. Something that's going to help you cope with life without alcohol.
Hi Tinker,
You are not alone. Glad you have reached out for help. Please post often and do not ever give up on yourself. It sounds like you have acknowledged a problem and there is a solution in recovery. I am currently attending AA meetings and their is a wealth of support and inspiration that is just awesome. I receive the motivation and hope that I am able to stay sober for 24hours one day at a time.
