    Can we get updated

    Update? Well, it's day 7 since I declared I was done. I had one slip two nights ago -- the cravings were insane. I felt like I was coming out of my skin. I got weak and drove to the gas station at 2am and bought a tall boy. Downed half of it in two gulps, and instantly got pissed at myself. So I dumped the other half down the drain. But aside from that, I've quit cold turkey. I feel like I got kicked by a mule, I sweat just sitting still, and I'm a little nauseous. But I am still determined to beat this and quit letting alcohol control my life. I've lost 4.3 pounds. The support I've gotten on this thread is just unreal. I'm humbled. :)

    You are doing awesome.

    Sounds like you better give your money and car keys to someone.

    Sounds like someone is projecting.

    The first step is waking up and saying to yourself "I'm miserable. Phuck this", and cutting out as many people as you need to stay sober. I've been off the booze for a month and off the coke, pills, K and Xanax for 2.5 months. It's lonely at first but new people come flocking when you start to feel and exude a newfound respect for yourself.

    Although, I've largely remained alone. Aspergers.

    Great Job! I have two aspie sons :) The respect for yourself and the confidence is so key! Keep it up and enjoy your success.
