Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Good Morning
Today is day 24 for me!
I think I mentioned in a previous post that my wife is away. I haven't been sleeping well so far since she's be gone.
The first two nights I figured it was because I was waiting for my anxiety meds to arrive in the mail and so I hadn't taken them. However, last night I didn't sleep well either.
I feel anxious now, very much how I would be feeling if I was hung over and feeling this way sucks. Of course I'm not hung over so I don't have the guilt I would feel if I was hung over but that's a small consolation. My therapist is also away this week!
I realize this post is more anxiety related than alcohol related so I hope you don't mind.

Alcohol made him feel more comfortable in social settings, but over time, his drinking spiraled out of control. By his mid-40s, he recognized that he had an addictive...
What are your plans for the day? I hope you can set aside some time for an activity that will help you feel more settled. For me that usually includes exercise or a good walk outside.
Deep breaths, my friend. And keep posting.
Good luck.
I've spent the morning organizing my closet which needs it! I'm taking a break from that. I'm about to update the GPS for my wife's car then I have to take my truck to put air in a tire so I"m keeping busy.
I may take my dog to the dog park later as well.
I have not tried anything for bed time. I usually can fall sleep but I either have dreams that wake me up or I just wake up on my own. Maybe I'll buy some chamomile tea when I go out to run errands.
