Hello all. I have gone 37 hours without alcohol. Feels completely overwhelming. I have tried to stop before, but did it alone. This time my doctor is on board, I told my husband and best friend. I enjoy reading your advice and thoughts.

well done, I’m on approx same time and I feel annoyed with myself that I chose to stop again because my addict says O didn’t drink that much.
But in the same time I have a lot to loose if I wont keep sober… I’m breaking up with a partner and he wants to take my daughter from me… because I drink… so…no more…
Hang in there

I’m in the same boat as you. Only 12 hrs here and 8 of those I was passed out. Let’s stick together.

We can do this! I just told my husband, who had no idea to the extent of it. First time I have spoken about it. Keep strong!

Focus on the joy and happiness that is posted here every day, and always because we stayed sober and didn’t give in to that first drink, you got this💪

Good job. First 3 to 5 days sucks. After that start getting some sun and stay hydrated. Your body needs to heal and your liver is playing catch up.
