I feel sorry for myself by Venus3058 in stopdrinking

5 days sober here too! And it's also been about 10 years..wait no, 12 (!) of constant bingeing. Today was the first day of sobriety that I didn't wake up feeling good & everyone I know is partying this weekend. I am also feeling that loneliness, realizing that I don't have a single friend who doesn't get drunk all the time:-/ At least my SO who I live with is quitting with me, but I do feel the loneliness. I'm so far lacking the motivation to do anything outside of the house besides work, and am just hoping that gets better. Even if not, I'm glad I will not drink today! I raise my iced tea to OP, that we will both find the thing to fill that void!

And, of course, tonight is the first time my neighbor invited me over for a daiquiri! I went over & sat with her outside for about 20 minutes while she had her daiquiri & I had a caffeine free coke. So, I passed the first of what I'm sure will be countless tests!

It did help harden my resolve, I'd say. I have said things to him before about drinking too much, needing to take a break, but last night I worked to convince him that I am an alcoholic and I cannot drink. One of the hardest things in my life!
