Day 2 is off and running
Well I've made it to midday Day 2!
Headaches aren't quite so bad. Cravings are intense but sporadic.
Found myself dreaming last night about cravings, I would know in the dream that I was working on not drinking and wasn't and then next thing I knew a drink would magically appear in my hand or in front of me as soon as someone important to me walked in. (I wouldn't even have drank more than a mouthful, would stop as soon as I realized the soda'd been spiked but my breath would reek and it would seem like I hadn't stopped to the people who talked to me.)
Well that's enough weird info from me for now...but the main thing is I'm hanging in there and keeping a priority on what's important.

A Work in Progress
Congratulations on making it to day 2. AA is a one day at a time program. I hope you are getting support and hope from attending meetings. I could not do it without my program.
Hugs,
Trish
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

I remember Dan and Lizzie talking about their drinking nightmares when in recovery.. so I believe it to be fairly common. And you are correct.. the main thing is.. you are doing it. Keep it up.. one day.. one hour at a time. Keep coming back.. I so look forward to your post tomorrow
I'll be waiting..
and as Trish said.. I hope you have a support system.. if not going please consider AA.. I love them.. use the tools!!

Hang in there, your'e doing great! I'm on track....not mentally so much yet but as you state- a work in progress. What I am missing is a support system, but if I have to I will go to meetings or something. To me that sucks, I wish I could count on my family and friends and not strangers. But sometimes I feel like my family IS strangers. *sigh* Day 3 is here. Lori

Congratulations to you too
how awesome to see others making it work..
and i think it's a good lesson to learn, when we start putting trust and faith into strangers.. who are like us.. it's a good bond and we benefit greatly from it. Please seek it out.
Don't know if this is YOUR situation.. but If you don't have the trust and support of family now (due to this addiction)... hopefully once you become healthy, they will see the change and come around to give you what you need. Right now.. they are probably protecting themselves from further hurt.. and giving themselves what THEY need.
again not sure if this is your situation.. just saying
