I was addicted to drinking alcohol. I have a headache from not having alcohol. I have been sober for 5 days. I go on long walks down by the beach to keep my head clear and distract me from alcohol addiction. I'm trying my best to be sober and hope I can keep it up.
I am carrying twins. I have had morning sickness for the last 3 months. I have 3 other kids: Two boys and one girl. My boys are 7 and 8 and my girl is 4. My children's father is 36 years old with a good job. I am only 26. I've been feeling sick. My doctor says I'll be sick for a long time. I used to drink but I'm sober now. I have a hired maid who helps clean up around the house.
I don't know how, but I've gone another whole week without alcohol. I'm proud of myself but I'm seriously at my limit, it's all I can do to not head to the bar right now. I know it must be tough but you're well on your towards recovery and you just have to take things day by day. Distract yourself with other things. Maybe go on a hike. Ya, I definitely do better when I'm out of the house and not near any bars/liquor stores. I don't know how I'll ever deal with going to a party. As long as you avoid temptations you should be fine. I would skip out on parties in the short term until you could adjust to the sobriety. Focus on your health by eating better and exercising a lot more. It will go a long way. It's good to have someone to talk to about this who understands. I'm super impressed by how long you've been sober. Thank you. It has been really hard to get past it. With my current pregnancy it almost feels like I'm getting withdrawal systems. The nausea is unbearable at times. My sister had such bad morning sickness she had to have a nurse come and give her iv fluids at home. Are you able to stay hydrated? Oh my goodness that's crazy! Yes I'm drinking up, sometimes water is the only things I could consume. I never tried the IV drips...did it help? Literally everything she tried to eat/drink made her throw up - even water! So the IV drip pretty much saved her life. I'm glad you're not having that problem. I can't believe it was that bad. I've been pretty sick but not to that extreme. I'm really happy she was able to get through it and yes I'm very thankful it's not that bad. I can't remember the name of it, but it happens to other women, too. It was scary. It must be hard for you, feeling so sick with the other kids needing just as much from you as usual. It all sounds terrifying. I'm praying things get better soon and thank you so much for your concern.
