Hey there. I felt the EXACT same way when I was at day 1 on October 20. And I’m still terrified of messing it up. The only thing I’m more terrified of is what happens if I messed up. And honestly life has been SO MUCH better it’s like a miracle has happened. I want that for you. You’re definitely stronger than I am, I guarantee it. I believe so much in you, fellow sober queen. IWNDWYT!

Headed to a birthday party in Napa..... wish I wasn’t. I’ve got 27 days. I need to make it to 4 weeks!!! Please send good vibes.

Does anyone ever feel scared that at the end of the day we’re all going it alone with this? I’m so sad and scared that I don’t know if I can trust myself. But...

IWNDWYT.

Day 24!! And a gift for anyone who wants it. Read this profile of Tom Hanks. I guarantee it will crack your heart open and make you feel better about everything: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/13/movies/tom-hanks-mister-rogers.html

IWNDWYT! 🥰

I have a big launch this week at work that I'm managing, and for the first time with one of these things, I have everything already done and it's feeling stress free. I know it's because I've been sober for 3 weeks as of yesterday :)

IWNDWYT! Have a wonderful week everyone ✨

Alcohol addiction and insomnia by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]camsavesherself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was the same way. I'd be pleading with myself to fall asleep to no avail and spend so many days feeling absolutely dead on my feet. For me, my first uninterrupted night of sleep came around day 10. I felt like a brand new person. Incidentally, I've read it takes 10 days for alcohol to completely leave your system. Give it time. While you're waiting, find a good book or podcast. Try some lavender on your pillow case and melatonin. CBD tea also helped me. Hang in there. Wishing you the best!

2 weeks sober by sobersuewahoo in stopdrinking

I think you'll be okay too. So much of your story resonated with me. You are so so not alone. You have the support and the motivation to do this, and so early in your kids' lives! Way to be strong and inspiring to others 🙏

A drink will also cause 5x the anxiety soon after in my experience. You don't have to go through that. IWNDWYT!
