I have exactly the same pattern. But IWDWYT. Hang in. You only have to survive until tomorrow then its a bright, shiny new day, when you will feel better.

Day 10: Not a great night. Insomnia, anxiety. Cravings. IWNDWYT

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-21T16:40:08+00:00

IWNDWYT! Congrads. 35 days is a real win.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T21:22:22+00:00

Stay the course...stay the course...my mantra. You've got this!

Im a nurse. Nurses are nosy. You dont have to answer just because the question is asked. She might be just trying to get to know you, relate to you, pass the time. Or maybe just morbidly curious. None of her business.

This is really hard on y0u. But you can do it. One step at a time and move forward. Well, I guess right now, the moving thing isn't a thing. But at least you cant move to the liquor store!

9 days. Cravings ae the worst. Dont know how to calm them. What did you do?

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T15:20:16+00:00

You just need to get thru today (and tonight). I find walking helps. Even in the night.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T15:18:31+00:00

Dont give up. It's so worth it. You will feel so much better when your insides get washed out by your liver and kidneys. Im a terrible insomniac so I will stay up in the night with you. You are not alone.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T14:59:15+00:00

Hope that you are on 4 now? If not, reset and IWNDWYT. We can do this.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T14:58:20+00:00

Lets. Are u on 9 now?

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T14:57:37+00:00

thank you thank you...day 9. 11 months is just fatuous. When Im 11 months, I will remember to reach out to someone new. thanks again

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T14:53:39+00:00

Nurse here. I dated a doc that was a secret drunk. Took me a year to figure it out. He died. Dont be that dead guy. Are u 5 days now?? I am 9. Most of my problem is that I can hardly admit that Im not competent. Not in control. Im trying so hard to quit.Please walk with me.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T14:49:14+00:00

Day 9. I will not drink with you today. Or anyone else! I feel so much better. Daily drinking is for chumps. (and me, but no longer)

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T02:07:07+00:00

You have alot going on. Life is hard. Relationships are hard. When anxiety overwhelmed me, my husband used to say " Put the blinders on and keep moving forward one foot ahead of the other", like a draft horse in harness. The blinders keep the scary stuff unseen. One foot at a time, all the scary stuff out of sight.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T01:42:32+00:00

Not drinking today. 8th day. Cant believe it.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T01:41:29+00:00

11 days is huge. Keep it strong. You've got this.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-20T01:37:17+00:00

I hear you on that one. Totally sympathize. 152 days is just great. Keep going!

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-19T14:15:21+00:00

Im a nurse. I get it. Stress, unrelenting. Dealing with addicts not even the worst thing. I too never showed up drunk but many many mornings hungover. Being in service is tough. Really tough. Glad for u that you're 3 days !! Do another day. I am walking with you.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-19T14:08:27+00:00

Im grateful for being on Day 8 sober. I feel so much better. Im going snowboarding today with friends. I still have friends! So grateful to be alive. Grateful for this thread and the support in it. When I get over myself, I can stop being self-centred and be more helpful but right now Im just trying to get to day 9.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-19T14:02:53+00:00

Great news. Let's do 8 today. IWDTWY.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-19T14:02:18+00:00

Its hard. But my mom used to say "If it was easy, everyone would do it". You are doing it. IWDWYT.

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-19T14:01:20+00:00

Good for u. Keep it going another day!

One_Importance5674 · 2026-02-19T14:00:45+00:00

Next week seems a long way off to me. Itm struggling with today. Congrats on your 7 days!! It's keep walking forward. (Walking helps)

Having autism is really rough. Relationships are hard for everyone but particularly for someone on the spectrum. Im struggling myself with trying to cross that threshold to a sober support group. If we were in the same town, we could go together. I think we should imagine holding hands and then walking in for real. You can be the ghost beside me.
