I am in day 4 of my recovery from alcohol addiction and I am in the process of acceptance. I am in the angry stage. I know I am an alcoholic there is lots of proof from my past and I can identify with the countless vain attemps to quit as the alcholics mention in the Doctors Opinion in the Big Book of AA. I know that I can't quit on my own that it is going to take a power greater than myself or any other human. But I am angry. I am angry because I know that I can't drink at all. One drink sets off the physical craving and I may not come back to the point I am today and alcohol will surely be the death of me one way or the other.
So what do I do now? I will keep going to AA and not drink one day at a time and surely I will get through the process of acceptance as many before me have. I have created a new social group for people such as myself that want to stop drinking/using, and want to find a better way to live. It is called the Recovery Group.The program of recovery set up in AA and NA works. I have seen proof of it in my life because I have had 3 years clean and sober at one time in my life, but it only works if I work it. There are things I have to be willing to do. It my hope that some of you who have recovery time will come and share your experience, strength and hope with me and others, and those of you who want this program can come and see how it works.

I can relate to how you are feeling. I've been sober for 5 months now and it honestly does get easier. You sound like you are well on your way! Good luck on your journey. Keep going back!

good for you itsme/day 4.
after a relapse i struggled so hard to get back in the groove. 'easy does it.' it won't return overnight-acceptance etc. 'just keep coming bank' and also ask your higher power to help you have the willingness. that worked for me-praying for the willingness to change. keep posting.  we're here for you.
