Hey Htide
Good job on day 5! I say just take it minute by minute if you have to. You've come a long way in getting the toxins out of your system.
There is really no benefit in drinking, for me anyway. But the consequesnces are always terrible!
Keep it up and I'll bet you'll be glad you did! -

Here to another 5 days AF!I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.
Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

I do this for my children, my grandchildren, my health, my peace of mind, and mostly for the opportunity to learn to live with my true, unfiltered, clear-headed, vulnerable self.

Congratulations htide!!! I actually am right there w/you and I feel so much better than I did just yesterday. Just try and remember how good you feel right now and then whenever you feel like it might be o.k. to take a little taste think of how great you felt today. Remember where AL will lead you. Enjoy the feeling. Hope is a wonderful thing. Best to you &

I'm on day 8 and taking 1 day at a time....and in the evening - when it's witching hour - it's one minute at a time....
I'm putting together a plan to stay away from the wine....right now, my poor dog has no legs left on his poor body - he's getting walked every hour in the evening...though he's happy and I'm well in need of the excercise....(being 4 stone over weight).
Lets keep going and we'll all take this journey together....

Htide,
A big congratulations on day 5! In my opinion, you've got the hardest part behind you...so when a craving hits, remind yourself how far you've come and tell yourself that you don't want to go through those first couple of days again.
For me, the best part of being sober is having no anxiety and no shame or embarrassment. I can now wake up in the morning and know exactly what happened the night before. Alcohol made me a monster and I don't want to be like that anymore. Maybe you can think of all the negatives that alcohol caused you and it will help you stay strong too.
Keep up the great work and stick close to the site. Let us know how you're progressing!

Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.Comment
