Alcohol messes us up in a large variety of ways. This comes to light when we quit. How you feel and the thoughts you are having are totally normal for a time of withdrawal. They will pass.
Everything is gonna be alright. I know it and I want you to know it. Now that you’ve stopped, you have so much power and opportunity!
Blessings on your house

I totally agree with @SinceIAwoke; you will experience many physiological and/or psychological affects of abstinence, but that a sign that You are healing!

I remember the feelings…I also had reoccurring dreams about drinking/using and I will wake up panicked. It was uncomfortable but it was a part of the process.

Better than riding to death, which is what drinking is for an alcoholic.
It gets better, and you get stronger. If you stick with it, I promise that one day you look around and say “I am better, and I am happy I chose sobriety.”

As crazy as this sounds. Calling myself a alcoholic is my biggest thing.
Whats smelly and invisible, but apperent to everyone around them? A fart.
I read that qoute the other day. It was my rude realisation, i infact am a alcoholic.
I have been comfortable with alcohol mis use disorder. Having it as a symptom of PTSD.
I was attempted my own life again the other day. I know its going to kill me.
Im with a safe friend, 3rd day sober.
Thank u for chatting

Hang in there. It gets easier and harder and easier again. It is absolutely worth it. You’ll feel it all but sober equaled sane in my experience. We’ve got you if you need us.

I’m one week sober and I’m not sure what to do my emotional support is my parents and family but at the same time they are my biggest triggers how do I handle this? I don’t have friends all I have is family, when I’m around them I’m so angry and I just want to go back to using because that was always the easy way out for me. I will Not go back in to my addiction again but I also need a support I’m not sure what to do.
