day 3 and anxiety

Posted on 07/01/08, 08:20 am

Hi all. I am new to this group. I went out after 10 months on a 2 month binge and now am starting over. I am on day 3 and it has been hell detoxing. With all the anxiety and guilt and depression and physical withdrawal, I am shakey and scared and hate the way I feel but I did not drink for 3 days and am praying for the strength to carry on and desperatly need support. I have been going to meetings.. today I have to work but will try to hit a meeting tonight. I just need to get through these really tough days and keep sober! Pray for me please!

  Being sober for an alcoholic is not normal.We make major adjustments in life staying sober.I give you props for you 3 days.That is something you should truly be proud of.

  I feel your pain. Day 3 was by far the hardest for me also. My Pdoc gave me lorazepam to get me through and it helped. I figured another reason to NOT drink again, going through that was enough!
  I hope you are doing and feeling better!

  i am right here with you. i am on day two of a month and a half binge. every single night. this is going to be my second night of not drinking. its all ive been thinking about all day. i know that the second i get home my bf will be drinking a tastey beverage and then another.
  
  i know we can do this. if you have done it before, there is no reason you cant do it again. the way i have been dealing with this is just staying on ds and posting, and reading, and taking all the advice and love that is here. you are not alone. we are all going through this fight. and damnit, were winning!
  
  much love, message me if you feel the urge. we can help eachother

  Hi all, I joined the group just now. I had a scary experience yesterday. I was trying to work and I developed a tremor, my hands were shaking and i was having trouble even writing with a pen. I knew right then and there i had to quit drinking. Funny thing is as soon as i made a decision in my mind to quit, i began to feel proud of myself, i could feel the shame ebbing away, and i felt much better. we'll see how it goes. i dreamt last night about glasses of chardonnay and bottles of beer, and it's hard to stop the craving. but it has been over 24 hrs since i had a drink and i feel pretty good. wish me luck.

This is a group for those that have 1 year or less or sobriety.We tell what we are going threw and share thoughts and opinions on new sobriety
