I feel honoured that you have chosen to reach out here. It sounds like you are ready for this change. Congrats on over 3 days! How was this past weekend for you?
I’m just on day five, gets easier every day, even not tempted when around my friends whomI regularly drank with. Stay with it and keep yourself busy with alternate fun beverages and other activities. Reading and cooking have been helpful for me.
It's a ridiculous vicious circle alcohol can put you in and I want it to stop.
Yes, indeed is a vicious cycle. The mind forgets the consequences and tricks us into taking the first drink. And then the drama begins, we end up drinking more than originally planned for. Thats powerlessness over alcohol. Inability to leave the drink alone, knowing that its hurting us. If you are ok with meeting new fellow people in recovery you may visit one of the local AA meetings.
Good luck with your recovery. Its a great space to be in to realize we have a problem and willing to take action.
I've been an alcoholic for approximately 15 years and I'm tired of living two lives.
One life, I am well liked and respected at work and can even enjoy social drinks without losing control but then there's the other side that has me getting obliterated on my own, crying in the fetal position for 48hrs.
I'm very lonely and alcohol only makes me want to isolate myself further for fear of being a burden. It's a ridiculous vicious circle alcohol can put you in and I want it to stop.
I'm on day 3 of sobriety and going through the usual cravings but this is the first time I've decided to reach out in anyway. My goal is to maintain a clear head and to accept reality as it is.
