I’m almost 48 hours without a drink… Now is the time I sit and relax and drink… Tried sobriety few months back. Did great for 45 days Then I thought I could manage my drinking. I now know I can’t. Minute by minute I’m counting till I can go to bed and not deal with the craving…

I was sober for 3 years, then 2 years ago I went out with friends feeling confident and my self destruction pattern began again. I started over today. I’m determined to stay sober. We can do this. Stay strong, we are all here for you. You’ve got this.

Been there. Didn’t drink for 2 months, thought I could hhandle it, but I could not. This is go time my friend. 48 hours is when your body starts adjusting back, and it might be hard to sleep or you might get anxiety. Some doctors will even prescribe anti anxiety meds for people coming off alcohol . Juse know you got this, we are here for you friend. Ifor minted by minute gets too hard, do it 10 seconds at a time. If you even feel like giving in, just come here and let it out . You got this
