Keeps me from thinking about drinking and my sense of accomplishment helps carry me through the want for the usual celebratory drink. The unexpected urges are very strong now. Not as frequent but it is as if they save their strength and mount a higher caliber attack on my resolve. I still want to be sober more than I want to drink. Off to complete some chores. I will check in later

Just started day 4 - all the alcohol should be out of my body now
Starting to hurt a bit (sticky smelly sweat, wanting to wretch but can't, headache, vile taste in mouth etc.)
Visual cortex was going bananas with amazing vivid slide show in bed + tinnitus (white noise and screeching)
Over the last few hours I do feel I'm over the hump and on the mend (not shaking much and thinking better)
Anyway - good luck (especially if you are just starting to quit)

Welcome Brian and Laura!
Well, I made the mistake of taking a 5 hour nap this evening, so it looks like I might be up all night.
Hope everyone is having a good sober night Zzz (or morning wherever you are)

Red, you should be through the worst of it. Welcome to the class Laura and congrats on day 5 scott. I had a good day. Got a good workout in and had fun with my son though I am letting him watch to much TV while I sit on the computer. Next week my goal is to do something about that. We would be outside it is just too damn hot.

Back to day 1 for me! I was doing so well and slipped after having a stressful day with the kids and it spiraled into another near week of all day wine drinking to calm my anxiety and shakes. I just had to get up to throw up it’s so miserable.
I cannot keep on this way. My husband doesn’t truly know how bad things are and I’m so scared to talk to him about this or really anyone at all other than this forum.

Pink, it may be the time to do just that though. As I was saying in another thread, if you keep slipping then break the status quo. If your husband did know he could support you and maybe hold you accountable? I know why wife being around and not wanting me to drink at all makes all the difference and really helps with cravings and relapses.

Morning.
My excitement is growing. The breeder sent me some new pictures this morning. Ruthless Ruthie is beginning to crawl and is beginning to hold her head up. I can't wait to go get her. It's a 13 hour drive each way without stops but it will be so worth it. She's stolen my heart already. What an excellent reason to keep sober.

Good afternoon everyone & Happy Friday,
Hope everyone is having a good day. Even though there isn't a ton of stuff going on in my world right now I still love the weekends. All is well on my end. Just had some lunch and took the dog out. Looking forward to a peaceful sober weekend.
Charon - I love the puppy pics. What breed is she?
