Day 3 and doing ok

Another tough night of sleep.  My body is going through a lot right now.  I have to go back to work today.  I did my daily meditations and I am really going to focus on taking it minute by minute, hour by hour.  It will be a good thing that I won't have to face my 4:00 trigger, that usually sets me off on my days off.  My friend may sponsor me, so I woke up 1/2 an hour early to do my meditations and clear my head, before the kids woke up.  Then I called my friend and we went over the readings for today.  I am going to try to get to a meeting tonight after I get the kids ready for bed. I think If I try to get to a meeting daily it will help get me through the next few weeks while I adjust to my withdrawals and refocus on myself.

I hope you are all doing well today.  I can't thank you all enough for your love and support. 

I'll touch base again later on. 

Hugs,

Nikki

...your first night of full sleep will feel great...so, stay the course...personally...I want you to do a little bit more than "try" to get to a meeting...but, I am glad that you're feeling ok...eat chocolate today (everyday)...I'll be thinking of you...

Good for you!

Minute by minute turns into hours which turn into days and more.

Focus only on today and for sure get to that meeting!

You're doing fine - "you are right where you need to be"... and I promise, it gets better and better.

God bless, Leslie

Day 3 is tough....was there anyway you could have taken the rest of the week off....really important for you to rest.  But, when I first got sober I was AFRAID to stay home because I thought I would drink...so its probably good you were at work.

It does get easier....keep doing what you are doing...and it will get easier...

This is a great website to help you fight this battle....I've been here for over a year.....and it is so good to have people that understand....Normal people would think 3 days without a drink was a piece of cake....For us...its a piece of cake with RAZOR BLADES.

Hang in there.

Missy
