Quick journal of night 1 through day 2. Last night could not sleep hardly a wink pretty intense anxiety. I made through the night started with meetings and normal biz work ect. I felt much more productive than LiQ. Still had the shakes less intense than day one but still noticeable. I am past the really scary part far severe anxiety and tremors. I will note I am veteran got back to my temp home my roommate spread rumors that I did drugs. Not right I don't use drugs. So after a intense discussion to cool off. I went to get some coffee and of course still with the shakes it came across my mind one won't hurt. You can just a quick brew to avoid the feeling frustrated and shake. I almost gave in really almost gave then I remembered what I wrote day one here. So I got a refill on my coffee and went to the park got peace of mind that way. As lay here typing now I feel my hands shacky but I do feel like I will sleep tonight. Good night and thanks for reading

I am the queen of sleepless nights because of my OCD and also the queen of typos. lol. It really does feel good to vent and share, so glad you posted this. Have you considered going to the doctor to see if you can get some meds during this beginning rough time time of sobriety? I have learned that sleep is really important, and after a few sleepless nights I feel like I was drinking on a bender anyway, so I treat the need for sleep like my need for sobriety, with great focus and importance. Going out in nature is my go-to for some serenity and also a good yoga flow.

Hope you get some sleep tomorrow.

Huggles, Nikki

Just take it easy on yourself and just get thru till your head hits the pillow tonight. The booze was my shortcut to coping with life. When things pop up and I get bad feelings the first thing I think is is don't like these feelings and I want a drink. I do this b/c I'm an alcoholic. But today I don't drink and need to find a way to deal with those ism and ICs. I found relief in the room of aa. I couldn't last more than two days without it.

Good luck and I hope that you find a path to get sober and happy. You can do it.

I think I speak for every American when I say "Thankyou for serving your country!.....

You thought about the consequeces of your actions before you did something you knew you would regret! Then you went for a walk in the park. That's amazing that you had the forethought to think that way! You will make it!

God Bless!

Michael, if you are detoxing, are you under a doctor's care?

Please take care of yourself. And remember one day at a time.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
