Mel,

I'm glad that you decided to post. We're here to support you. I remember what my first few days sober were like - they were pretty awful. Good for you for making it through the first two days.

Don't know where you are, but since you've got a break coming up, when you'll have time on your hands (always a big trigger for me to drink) have you considered attending Narcotics or Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. There great places to get IRL support. i go to AA and it's helped me a lot - even if it just gets me out of my house to hang out with a bunch of sober people for an hour, when otherwise I might want to be drinking.

Quitting is really hard, but if you really want it, it is possible.
