I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; those first few days when you get clean are absolutely rough. It’s frustrating because between all of the nasty withdrawal symptoms, you feel like you’re being punished for doing the right thing.
The good news is that it does get better. Just hang in there, and I’ve always like the advice of, ‘you only have to do this one time, and you’ll never have to go through it again if you don’t want to.’
2 days sober? Congrats! Let’s make it 5 and then a week. One foot in front of the other. You can do this. We’re all here for support. 
Life is better over here. I wish I could tell myself when I first started, listen to your body. Side effects? Drink water. Want coffee? Drink it. Sweets? Eat some candy. Tired? Sleep. Sleep some more. Stressed? Cry… It’s okay. Need to laugh? Watch a comedy with a good friend. I tried to fit everything into the"ideal" sober portrayal that normies make. No. My recovery self is unique and mine. As long as I’m sober and happy with my life, then I’m winning the battle!
