Hi Springer,
I know all about the stress you are going through - I am moving house too! and it is hard and annoying.. but drinking won't help at all.. I am pleased to say I kept a clear head today and managed to get half my house packed.. I like to write lists of things to do and tick them off as you do them.. gives me a great sense of achievement!
Very well done on your 2 weeks AF.. I now see AL in a totally different light since finding this place.. you need to keep vigilant and know your triggers.. that way you can tackle Al head-on!

HI SPRINGER. keep at it. all the things you mention get so much worse when drinking. it can be tough at first but it really is worth it. your health problems will improve.

Hi Springer, and welcome. You should be very proud of yourself for your two weeks without booze. The urges do come hard and strong in the early weeks - unfortunately. You can ride them like waves, and they will pass. Knowing that, has always given me strength - I was taught that concept in here. Hang in there, and keep up the great work. Perhaps you can slip out to a pool, and have a hot tub or sauna as a way to try to de-stress, or a walk? All the best,
Hill

Hi Springer, just adding another welcome!!! this place is amazing, there hare literally hundreds of people all over the world so you have 24 hour support!!! Shout when you need help ...........

I have suffered terrible panic attacks and anxiety and can honestly say that when I stopped self medicating with AL they went away .........

Be strong and stick around, its a good place to be.
