Withdraw is extremely uncomfortable but you will feel so good once you get through it. We’ve all been there…stay connected.

You got this.Try drinking some chamomile tea that’s a good natural sleep aid to calm the nerves at night. I remember waking up and my bed being soaked in sweat and not being able to control the shaking. That’s the roughest part but once you get though that you will feel like a new person. Don’t ever forget how you are feeling right now. Write it down or whatever you have to do because if you decide to drink again this is how you are going to end up feeling again. But maybe worse. That’s how I look at it anyway. I try to remember how bad I felt that first week but it is possible to power through it. Keep distracted. Play video games, binge watch some TV. Do whatever it takes. Drink tons of water. You got this :))

The first three days are always the hardest for me. It does get easier, and you will start to take control and regain power over the addiction. Don’t let it get in your head and fool you, you don’t need it and sober is the best way by far to go through life. Stay strong and focus on the positive things that are happening already there are more to come.

The first 3 days were definitely the hardest. I didn’t just want to drink every day, I wanted to drink every hour, minute, second. Don’t be afraid to reach out for support. Go to meetings, read about your disease, talk to someone with some sobriety time. These all helped me get through it. You are not alone! :slight_smile:
