    day 3 Help

    Hi everyone-

    So this is day 3 and the panic attacks are pretty much gone, appetite back, can sleep, and am in generally good spirits.
    Sounds like a good time for a drink. :H

    This is the thought process that I am trying to kick, as it happens everytime I get about.....here. I know it ultimately comes down to me, and I know that I won't drink today, but can someone please remind me why.

    How can I get through not drinking, when right now, drinking doesn't seem as bad as it did on Saturday morning? (even though it is)

    Thanks!

    Well........because you'd have to go through ALL that crap again.

    Sit, be still and conjur up that anxiety attack. That was fun, wasn't it?

    Hey, you're on DAY THREE!!!!!!!!!! You made it! Well done.

    Don't go back, don't let your brain trick you. You're so much smarter than that!

    You're well on your way to beating this. And a drink or ten is not worth anxiety attacks.

    A sober life is great. Come, join me!

      HAHAHA- Just kidding. Thanks for reminding me of the horrors....I just got a diet coke.

        Hi cke123 I know how you feel, I'm on day four feeling pretty good and the thought of a nice cold beer entered my mind earlier, but I keep reminding myself if I have one it will turn into six or more and I want to wake up guilt free. Keep up the good work, your doing great!

          DITTO ditto ditto, Don't ruin it, you will be sorry, I blew it on Saturday, Sunday was yucky, same old feelings of guilt and not liking yourself very much. Truly not worth it. It really wasn't. I am so sad I did it now. Here I am day 2, walking forward again. Keep up the good work, the reward is being free.

            cke123: Think about it. Where will drinking get you? It will give you a temporary high, only to start you on the downward spiral again. One drink leads to the whole bottle. You will get a crappy nights sleep, not to mention be burdened with guilt and shame. You will wake up hungover and shaky. Your anxiety attacks will kick in. Is drinking worth it? NO! Keep up the good work. Life truly gets better. -Reenie

                  Congrats cke, it definitely does get easier. Small steps add up to big achievements over time. So focus on today, everyday, and distract yourself and keep yourself busy. I think today is my 60th straight af day, and I rarely think about drinking. I have had no anxiety attacks when I had them daily foor 5-6 years while drinking. When drinking crosses my mind, it is the bad memories that reappear and reinforce my desire to stay sober. Be patient with yourself and take good care, great to hear about your progress, j
