Day 6 - feeling better

Feeling better today. Did some work and cleaned the entire house! Going to go into the office tomorrow. Now the challenge is to stay sober. I never got on with AA but there is a meeting near me tomorrow - maybe I should give it another go ? That or swimming - have put my swimsuit in my bag !
Thanks for all the support here - it got me through the worst withdrawals of my life !

Maybe both! Swimming sounds nice. I’ve been thinking about trying that or maybe a hike when I get some more of my strength back. I’ve never tried AA either but this latest relapse has me thinking that I shouldn’t take any options off the table. Good luck!

Just think. This can be the last time you ever have to go through this!

Yeah, leave that fight behind ICDT. That fight is done, booze won, and you can now drop the gloves and move on to the peaceful portion of your life.

Well done ICDT! I've still got to clean the house.

I used to go to AA many years ago and it helped me a lot. Stayed sober for 5 years. I agree with ptown. Don't take anything off the table. Experiment with different stuff and find your way.

I've started going swimming and can barely complete a lap, but is great to be in the water and being outdoors. I highly recommend it.

Congratulations on 6 days. Onwards we go.
