Take Epsom salt baths when you get anxious. Helps a lot. Drink lots of water too. You my feel fine...it all depends on how much you drank and for how long. Hang in there!

Anxiousness, messed up dreams, sweats, shakes, temporary memory loss, bricks, headaches. This is a list for me for what went through. The good news is that it is temporary. Are you in a program yet?

No not I’m not going through anything but anxiousness, I’m just craving now and then and am scared how socializing is going to be.

Ice cream… I wish I could explain why but the ice cream cravings just sort of kick in. If you are not in a program get into one. It helps in figuring out what this addiction is all about. There are several different programs out there. Don’t try to fix past mistakes right away! Give yourself some time. Be kind to yourself. You are gonna have good and bad days. That’s why we say one day at a time. Sometimes it is one moment at a time. Just stay sober today. Worry about staying sober tomorrow when it comes. Don’t be afraid to reach out to sober friends. “Fellowshiping” is a huge part of getting through it. I am proud of you for taking the step. We all know how hard it it!

3 DAYS IS AMAZING! Don't think it's not. We only have today and you're still sober! Keep it up, one day at a time!
