Thank you!! Day 17 today and I am very excited for the weekend to be off and able to rest and enjoy feeling pretty good.
I had drinking dreams all week. I had the shakes because I drank myself to a point of needing detox. I cannot go through that. Stay strong

I read your thread. We should be friends in early recovery! These early days are tough and doing it alone is too hard. I support you and encourage you to reach out if you want to drink - especially come friday

I'm really gripped with fear
My addiction has no arms or legs - it needs my cooperation to get what it wants - if I refuse to give it that cooperation, there's literally nothing it can do about it
Sure it might cry and rage and scream but just like any toddler, it will tire itself out.

Today is 19 days. Yesterday was a challenge for me. I just had those weekend cravings. I was happy last week keeping busy and focused during the day at work. The evenings are occupied with rest and relaxation post work: cooking, TV, book, exercise. Time is my friend.
