Welcome to the community Cristina
Great job on day 3 - i’m sorry the first few were so hellish. Just keep those days in mind when the cravings start - day 1’s only get worse every time we go back. The “addict” voice will be strong and try to convince you that you need just one drink or it’s ok to drink on the weekend to reward yourself or whatever lies it can come up with. They are lies. Alcohol has nothing good to offer and you are so much better without it.
This is a great community with loads of support and advice. Take some time to review the threads - jump in when you feel comfortable.
Congrats on getting back into school. Alcohol does create fog and memory gaps. We are able to repair the “grey” matter by being sober and staying sober. It does take time but it is possible.
Are you up to going to meetings? If yes, look into the closest ones to you and start immediately. Or you can search for a 24 hour on line meeting. Support is key when trying to go sober. I also had to change up my daily routines and find ways to keep myself busy so that i eliminated temptation. Being active here helped me the most. It was nice to be around people that are going through the same shit and understand the struggle.
Check out the Checking in daily to maintain focus #58 thread - i find that by doing daily check in’s I stay on course.
