22 hours and starting to feel the withdrawals

Life in Recovery

During the day I was fine but now I can start to feel the irritability that comes with not drinking… I’ve quit many times before so I know the process. Ive only reached 14 days sober since as long as I can remember. This is the first time quiting while using this app. I’m hoping it will help with the first 3 days of the actual physical withdrawals then help me keep going once those are gone then the constant mental battle to keep reminding myself that I can’t drink again… not even a little bit.

Day 1 was the toughest. Days to come wont be easy either, it will be a challenge. You can do it! Stay strong.

You got this!! I was irritable the first couple of days too. Now I’ve calmed down and keep reminding myself of the positive effects and even the positive changes in my home after a week.

Congrats on wanting to become a better version of yourself!! Deciding to stop drinking isn’t easy… withdrawals make it harder, bad days also make it hard, but stick with the decision you made. You know what you’re up against because you’ve done this before. Everything that you’re feeling today, we have all felt. Everything that you’ll feel tomorrow and the day after and next week and next month… we have all felt. You are not alone. We are all here for you :slight_smile: stay strong and sober :slight_smile: you can do it

I know how it feels let me just tell you stay strong… we all believe in you. We all been through this. And thanks to this forum i’m now 4 days sober. Because they all help me with they support and their stories. If you ever have the feeling of having a drink just come back to the forum and anyone will be here for you. We are all going through the same… and stay strong the first few days are very hard. And i’m glad you chose sobriety…

Thanks @LewTangClan . I’m going to try and be so much stronger this time. I never did AA or any support group before so I kind of always tried on my own. But this app really has shown me how many people are dealing with the same thing and how many people have came through it and are sober, happier , healthier people. Thanks :slight_smile:
