Christo, i had a hard time sleeping the first time i quit drinking it was really hard I had night terrors that kept me awake and nightmares of demons beside my bed. Got some trazadone from doc and used that for a couple weeks and worked great. This time i have not had to take it though. Hope this helps.
Noy that I am a good role model but the first day is the worst phyically and mentally. It does get easier after that. Youāre not going to be alone please take it an hour at a time. I am 40 and alcohol has taken a huge toll. Donāt waste more time. Letās use this forum to support each other. Well done for taking the first step to recognise there is a problem. 
@Diesel. Well done. I think youāre on the right track now. I am taking mitrazapine for sleep, but I am not expecting it to work tonight.
Does anyone here finds dificult to imagine a life without alcohol? and or drugs? this feels just like a neuron fight all neural resources fighting to convince us of ingesting alcohol and or drugsā¦
sorry if i write too much im kinda anxiousā¦
CHRISTO, thatās tough. But Iām going to tell you this, me and my guy have been together for 2 &1/2 years now. We started drinking together. And he had a waking moment. I didnātā¦ It has not been easy for him to stand by and watch me slowly kill myself. But he never gave up on me. And he has been sober for over a year. I had my waking moment after numerous trips to the ER, and finally being told that I have pancreatitis. I didnāt believe the doctor when he said I would have to change everything. Especially the drinking. I drank again. I was admitted again. I think in a way that was God doing for me what I couldnāt do for myself. That was the point when I had to admit my powerless. You stay string for YOUā¦ and God will take care of all the rest.
Im expiriencing pain all over my body, this is my first day without drugs or alcohol since a couple of yearsā¦ It seams that the day is getting longer and longerā¦
I love sobriety
First Monday AA meeting down feeling positive just about to hit the weights in my garden. Going sweat this negativity out of me 
stay strong everyone 
Hello everyone. First time on this forum. Started my journey for being sober 2 days ago.
Hey RajC this is my first day it has been a long and painful day but everything is getting better Saludos desde Tijuana Mexico.
@Nikki78. Thank you so much - your story is quite scary ending up in ER and everything that happened to you, but look how far you have gone. Well done to you and your partner. Day 2 and I must say I am feeling so much better already, even though I couldnāt sleep much and had terrible night sweats. I feel much stronger and determined to do this. I have a very slight discomfort and what feels like a small bump on the right upper abdomen and also loss of appetite, which is freaking me out. I also feel this is God telling me to do something now or I will die, I just hope it is not too lateā¦ My partner also agreed to go the sobriety road with me which will help alot I trust. Thank you again. 
CHRISTO, PLEASE GET THAT BUMP CHECKED OUT. Its not too late. Good luck to you. And your partner. Congratulations on day TWO!!!
@Nikki78. I just made an appointment for tomorrow - you are right - rather know now what the damage is. I am stressed out - no pain, just a little discomfort and the loss in appetite the last month. Think I might ask about antibuze as well. Much appreciated the advise!! 
CHRISTO, I donāt know if they use antibuze anymore. But your doing the right thing. I had that same bunp and discomfort in my upper right abdomen. I ignored it. Than it got painful. So I drank to forget about the pain. It got so bad that I couldnāt walk, cough, or sneeze without crying . Donāt be worried, youāre going to get better. I promiseā¦
@Nikki78. You convinced me when you mentioned you had pancreatitis. Sounds very serious. I canāt thank you enough. 
I know this may sound stupid but my addiction is food. I know its something you have to have in order to survive. Can anyone relate?
