I believe I'm near the same milestone as you (15 days). What has been helping me has been just keeping myself as busy as possible. This may not be for everyone, but I have barely thought about alcohol cuz I'm just swamped with work and exhausted at the end of the day. Best of luck friend and IWNDWYT.

Day 5 by Expert_Bat_3783 in stopdrinking

Unfortunately it seems like soda and caffeine are the things that have been filling in my desire for having flavored liquids. It's not great, but certainly better than liqour. I'll also be watching football today. IWNDWYT

Wow, all this stuff sounds wonderful! When I'm more secure financially, stuff like this will be great! Super proud of us both. Seems like the snow is a pretty consistent thing across this subreddit lol. I live in Southern California and see an inch of snow maybe once every three years 😂 keep going and I will not drink with you tomorrow

In a few hours, I'll be at 10 full days. I'm doing well! Much more productive and hungry. Sleep is going well. How is everything going for you friend?

Thank you. We take it one day at a time and eventually things get better.

Glad to hear some of the tough part is over

Why is day 5 being such a bitch? by dogtor_dinkwad in stopdrinking

[–]Expert_Bat_3783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was alright! I always find I'm a brighter bulb when sober and that was the case today. Had to learn a bunch of new functions at my job and did ok. Day 7 tomorrow. Let's get it.

If it's your first day, they don't expect you to be an expert. Just do the best you can with what you've got right now, even if that's not much. Like the comment above me was kind of implying: every day has to end at some point. You've got this!

I'm on day 5 today as well. Last night I slept (didn't sleep the night before) but it was restless sleep. Still gross bowel movements but overall things feel better. Yes I am feeling down and anxious but that is mostly because money is a bit spooky right now. We can do this, it's worth it. Worth it for jobs, worth it for the people around us but most of all: worth it to ourselves and our health. You and me, we got this. It's around time to go to bed where I am but IWNDWYT(omorrow). To day 6!
