Wash your hands.. hold an ice cube… go for a walk. Hit the gym… call a friend… cold or hot shower.

I am definitely Not mad. I understand I’ve been where you are right now. And it’s okay. You will get through this.

There are other support groups ! I’m in one that is different but it works for me- Google sobriety support meetings in ur area, there’s one out there that’s perfect for for u !!! First week of sobriety is hard, i remember my first month, it was the most uncomfortable moment of my life n it fuels me now to stay sober so I’ll never have to endure that mental and physical anguish again - it does get better !

Get this book. It explains WHY you are feeling what you are feeling. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER against this disease.
Allen Carr’s “Quit drinking without willpower”. It’s awesome.
