Okay @gmb It’s nerdy but I play D&D with friends on zoom.
Then family goes to bed. We take a break with an hour to go. Well, you can imagine.
This will be my first Thursday since quitting. I am expecting a tough night.

Never heard of gabapentin but if it works go for it.
You still hanging @Lisa26?
Sorry to hear about the anxiety. I’m more of a deep depression kind of guy myself. I guess I worry some but mostly as another way of beating myself up for nothing so not the same.

@Paul697 Yes I’m hanging in there. Had a few things going on today that would usually lead me to drinking…but I did not drink 
One week clean tomorrow! How are you doing? I understand about the depression.

Lemon and cucumber water helps de-toxing. Go another day then you’ll have two. Zoom a meeting.Keep reaching out that is huge. A gratitude list helps me. You are worth it. Congratulations on your first 24 hours.

Thanks. Great feedback
I like hiking but what I call hiking you might call a vigorous stroll
Brene’ Brown is great. Her insight. is used in many recovery centers. Helped me tremendously. I’ll have to check out the podcast. Thanks for that information.

I needed inpatient detox. I couldn’t do it on my own. It’s great you’re looking to help yourself. It’s hard, but it can be done. I’m only 18 days sober, but going to try my ass off to stay sober.

I’ve rest again. I just cant get past 2 days. I spilled out the alcohol this morning. Nothing in the house now plus chatted with my husband about my struggles and he is supportive. I really want to stay sober this time and will be checking in daily.
