    Is today the day...

    Hi everyone,

    Well, didnt sleep a wink last night. Whipped myself into an absolute frenzy. Felt like my heart would just jump out of my chest. Not because I drank to much as usual but because I made a commitment to myself to be sober. Can I get through without my crutch? More importantly can my family get through if I don't?

    Hopefully - today is the day.

    "Can I get through without my crutch?"

    yes you can! you're excited about your sobriety - that feeling is what you need to tap into these first few (roughest) days

    today is the day
    The untold want, by life and land ne?er granted,
    Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.

      No need to hope, just MAKE it happen.
      Try some Valerian or Calmes Forte for your anxiety.
      Hang in there!

        It gets easier each day/night sober.. Just hang in a few days.. and you'll start to sleep..

        Now I look forward to going to bed .. That was my biggest aversion to not drinking.. not passing out and not being able to get to sleep. It doesn't take as long as you think it will. Just expect it will be difficult at first... a little easier each night.

        Something that works for me... Get comfortable and then don't move... period. Don't toss and turn. Eventually you'll go to sleep.

            My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.
