4 Days-no Booze

Hi there everyone, so glad I found this site. It has been 4 days since I had my last drink. Doing pretty good, considering, I was drinking every other day for so long. I never really considered myself a problem drinker or an alcoholic, until recently. My life was really beginning to take a nose dive. I would black out after drinking 2 big bottles of wine and do things I wouldn't do sober and act like a complete idiot (that's an understatement) I'm not blaming anyone for my choices, but things have been pretty rough for me, and the booze just made it all go away for awhile, it stopped me from thinking and feeling things until the next day, with major hangovers I felt worse, but of course that didn't stop me. Drinking is such a socially acceptable thing that nobody really realizes that you have a problem until the problem really starts showing, which has happened to me. I actually surprised myself today for not drinking because I was so upset, but I took a nice hot bath, and ordered a pizza. I find eating a meal really helps me stay sober, too full to drink. Anyone else like me out there? would love to chat.

love and light :)

Good Morning Deborah
Girlfriend don't be hard on yourself, it will just make you feel horrible. You have today and that is all that really matters. Try living in the moment and don't worry about an hour from now or two hours, that's what I am doing because really it's all we have. Stay strong, keep busy and try substituting it with something else, I drink Coke seems to help my craving.

Love and Light

good job...

I'm at 4 days w/ no hard alcohol. which may not sound like much but... considering i was @ over a 5th a day...pretty good...

the shakes and night sweats suck but at some point they will taper off I'm sure

keep it up !!!!
Hi there guest! Good for you Keep up the good work, I haven't suffered any of that, I crave sweets, but I would rather be a chunkie than a junkie!!!
