One day at a time. It’s not hard to stop drinking, it’s hard to not pick up again. When one day is too long, maybe try and cut it down in smaller pieces. An hour, until 7pm, then until bedtime etc.
When I decided to cut alcohol off my life, I soon threw away all the wine glasses, even the bottle opener had to go. What for? I live alone. I wanted to put the boundaries higher to get booze and remind myself that this is a non-alcoholic household from now on.

Peace and love.

I have truoble fall a sleep at nigth. Im tired and everything, sleepy, but dont fall a sleep. Takes forever. Have to get up in the morning to send Kids at school, and normally go to work. If I dont work, I cant catch sleep during Daytime, I never could. Only from pass out drunk or really sick whit flu or something. So always so tired from not getting enough sleep. Any good tips?
Thank You.

Good evening I’m new to the group. This is my 2nd day of not taking a drink. Usually when I get off of work I make sure I go to any liquor store to get my drinks. I would drink until I was absolutely crazy and out of my mind. Then I would eat my dinner and go to sleep and fell like crap in the morning and drag to work. This morning I woke up feeling great.

Hi. Welcome 
… I used to do that everyday after work for years, and then on my days off too which led to sick days regularly. Yes and then cook some sort of food for myself to think I would ease the hangover, but I was hungover everyday really, I’d look at the mess in the kitchen the next day of what I had cooked,Everyday is day 1… It’s one day at a time, 
… lots of support here…!..Checking in daily to maintain focus #39
