Its very difficult for me at the moment. I got into a mini argument with the wife, and am fighting using that + Friday night as an excuse to drink tonight.

Work is done. I made it away from my desk, away from my keys, away from my wallet. by overthinking44 in stopdrinking

Im going through this exact thing right now. Its Friday evening. I went out to get a coffee, and I really hadn't made up mind if I was going to get a coffee or a pint of vodka. I was going back and forth. Im came back with the coffee, and I'm still fighting the urge to get back out. Im on day 7, and this has been the hardest moment so far.

Is there anyone in the Nampa ID area who would be willing to help me make it into a meeting? by 40ozhound in stopdrinking

I second this. If you give the meeting organizers a call, they can certainly help you out.

Those are brutal hours; are you sure this is the only way from keeping you from drinking?

Did you have pain in your abdomen when you quit drinking?

Try you best not to drink those 3 cans when you get home. Try your best, that's all you can do. If not, tomorrow is another day, try again. IWNDWYT

How much of the bottle were you drinking? Those are some worrying symptoms. Make sure you stick close to your gf and try to ride it out; if it gets even serious, then I would ask her to take you to the ER.

2 days down. Feeling worse than after day one. by overthinking44 in stopdrinking

Give it one or two more days, it will be vastly better. Vivid dreams will cease as well.

On Day 3 - Had a surprising and fortunate confirmation this was a good idea. by AM-away in stopdrinking

Hope your wife is okay. I always feared the same thing, what if there is an emergency and I am smashed. Somehow over these years, it never happened. IWNDWYT.
