Day 2 for me without alcohol. It wasn't hard last night because I got off work late and was tired and ashamed still. Didn't sleep well last night and doubt I will for a little while due to detoxing and racing thoughts.
I am going to a meeting after work -aa. I feel so stuck. Can't live with it. Can't live without it. I can't keep doing this to my body. Both of my parents were alcoholics and died when I was young. I am still grieving for them, despite childhood abuse. I am in my 30s now, productive but basically lost. I just want some peace. I'm so sad and without much support because I am unable to reach out for support in person. It's part of all my secrets that I mentioned yday. I know I can't do this alone. I did tell a friend that I was a drunk and she went into the whole diatribe about self-control. When it comes to etoh, I have little to none. Must go to work now. Thank u for your support yesterday. I guess I'm trying to reach out anonymously at first. My anxiety and dread are so intense right now. I struggle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congratulations! Day 2 is a great start. One day at a time. Keep up the good work. Do you have a sponsor yet? If so, rely on him/her. Consider them your lifeline.

Way to go! I also had childhood abuse, and drinking was just a temporary fix that lets problems pile up inside.

I was on day two yesterday as well, which makes today day three. I'm really just planning to do a week until I see a new psychiatrist. Then who knows. I tried to go to a meeting last night but couldn't face the traffic, trains etc. Seemed better to just nap. Anyway good luck and keep it up it gets easier shortly as you probably know.
