So Day 5 is here and I’m stressed with my work, stressed with my son. I’m soooo tired and weepy ..But I won’t drink as it makes it 100 times worse !

Stress sucks.
You are doing all the right things here. Posting. Talking about it. Getting support.
I hope you are still in no contact with you son. He can figure out his mess.
One task at a time. We are here for you.

Hang in there ICDT! You are doing the right thing. The stress will drop away. It's just in early days every thought and emotion becomes amplified in a vicious cycle that often ends in our taking a drink to calm ourselves. Don't do it. You absolutely need to put yourself and your sobriety first right now. Do not get sucked into the drama. You just have to get through it and you will find more peace and coping ability, but you need to be gentle on yourself to get there. Do not allow others to get to you.

Wishing you the best.

Day 5 can be a tough one. I think you will start to see improvement in how you feel very soon.
