hi all ........ not feeling too great .... ok physically (except tired) ...... but all the psychological stuff is starting ..... I hadnt really prepared myself for the sudden bursts of guilt about the past and anxiety about the future ........ at least I know its because ive stopped drinking but the things the AL used to block out are being triggered by stupid things on the tv ...... havent seen my kids for 3 years ..... mum dying of liver cancer but wont talk to me and worries about getting a job...... a home and the rest....... i know you ve all been there and know what im on about ....... at least im aware of why it is happening and i know the only thing i can do to try to rectify these things is to keep up with my recovery ........ doesnt make you feel any better tho ...... the guilt is the worst ..... the results of my drinking the wreckage ive left ........ i know this wont last long and soon i will be in a better position to be pro active .... its just that i was so worried about the physical wds i forgot about the psychological ones ...... i have got to get out of this house tom i know some AA guys meet up for coffee on a sat miight go and see if they are there ..... take care everryone PM

Aww PM,:l

It's a shame we can't undo the past, believe me I still get involuntary mental shudders about the things that I've said and done in the past. All I can today is my best.
So today and tonight just concentrate on sober thoughts, really I know it's hard. Honest.

Hey PM,
5 hours you lucky man, the sleep fairy went walk about in this house again, but still it's better than passing out drunk on any piece of furniture I was near.
Great you're planning. The most exciting plan I've got is the weeks shopping, joy.

I'll check back later.

Good stuff Pompy, one step at a time, you are getting there. Guilt and anxiety about the past serves no useful purpose except remind us where we were and dont ever want to return to. If you can, make peace with your past and move on to a much brighter future, AF.

Yes, I stopped drinking coffee for hangovers a good few years ago. People will say, "You must feel crap. Some coffee?"
And I'm like, "Noooo!"

That's great, PM; 3 days is the typical in-hospital detox, so the probability of really awful symptoms is down to about nil. Sleepliness, sweating, and some shakes may be ahead, but those are rideable. Congratulations! ODAT,
